    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.
