Restorative Sciences Occlusion

  
  • RSOC 5111 - Dental Anatomy & Occlusion (7 Credit Hours)



    This course includes material from two very closely related topics: dental anatomy and occlusion of the natural dentition. The dental anatomy component introduces the student to the morphology of the primary and permanent dentition. Throughout the course, tooth arch traits, type traits, specific developmental and eruption features, as well as anomalies, will be stressed for both primary and permanent dentitions. In addition, a preliminary overview to gross structures of the masticatory system, periodontal anatomy, internal root anatomy is presented. Knowledge from didactic learning of arch traits and type traits is then applied to waxing selected teeth in the permanent dentition on the dentoform. The course also introduces the student to the basic concepts of occlusion. The main emphasis is on the occlusion of the natural dentition, but certain aspects also apply to the occlusion of the artificial dentition. The purposes are to familiarize the student with 1) necessary terminology, 2) condylar movement characteristics and the resulting interactions of teeth, 3) basic knowledge of optimal occlusion and acceptable variations, and 4) the psychomotor skills related to restorative and prosthetic dentistry. The occlusal waxing phase of the course is concerned with the form-function interrelationships of the opposing surfaces of natural and artificial teeth. The rationale for current concepts of occlusion based on mechanical and known biological principles will be presented. The student will be expected to integrate manual skills and didactic knowledge by forming the coronal surfaces of teeth in wax while utilizing a dentoform and pre-formed dies. This course begins to impart to students the knowledge and skills necessary to restore missing parts or complete crowns of teeth to anatomical form that is in intra-arch and inter-arch harmony both in centric and eccentric mandibular positions.
