This course is designed to develop the student’s ability to understand and identify the form and function of teeth individually and collectively. It is a lecture course that studies the teeth’s anatomy in detail. Topics in this course include anatomical and embryonic differences, developmental disturbances, root structure anomalies, and the physiology of mandibular movement as well as an introduction to occlusion. Students gain hands-on exposure by drawing, labeling and identifying specific characteristics on each tooth.
