Course Code :
DHST 112
Level :
Undergraduate
Course Hours :
3.00 Hours
Department :
Faculty of Oral & Dental Medicine

Instructor information :

Area of Study :

• To promote advanced knowledge about dental anatomy and physiology. • To provide expanded knowledge about human dentition (permanent molars and deciduous dentition, physiologic significance of tooth form and different types of occlusion). • To serve as a basis for understanding the clinical courses such as Pedodontics, Orthodontics, Operative dentistry, Endodontics as well as prosthodontics and crown and bridge.

Human Dentition

Course outcomes:

a. Knowledge and Understanding:

1-	Identify both deciduous and permanent teeth
2-	Memorize the chronology
3-	Describe the anatomical changes induced in the mandible by age
4-	State the significance of physiologic tooth form in protecting the periodontium
5-	Describe the different curves to which the arrangement of teeth conforms.
6-	Describe the relation of maxillary and mandibular teeth in normal centric occlusion as well as during different mandibular movements

b. Intellectual Skills:

1-	Differentiate between the deciduous and permanent human teeth.
2-	Predict the approximate age of a human being according to the condition of his teeth
3-	Distinguish any abnormalities in human teeth as well as in their occluding relations.

c. Professional and Practical Skills:

1-	Design the morphology of different types of human teeth.
2-	Create the normal shape and size of different permanent ((premolars and molars) human teeth by carving.

d. General and Transferable Skills:

1-	Manage time effectively.
2-	Appreciate long life learning.
