Recommended Prerequisites

General Human Anatomy.

Teaching Methods

There is theoretical, theoretical and practical training and practice classes. Practical classes allow the application of knowledge and are essential for this groupof students

Learning Outcomes

The overall objective is to train health professionals able to: a) recognize and describe the external macroscopic morphology of different dental elements of stomatognathic system; b) reveal the importance of internal morphology for each element mentioned above; c) recognize the interdental relationships normal versus pathological situation. From the point of view of skills and competences: i) have the theoretical knowledge of the chronology, dimensions and external dental macroscopic morphology; ii) possess the theoretical knowledge of interdental relations; iii) have the practical knowledge to reproduce the dental elements.
