Objectives

Theoretical:
The purpose of the Course of Occlusion, TMJ and Orofacial Pain I is to give students the basic knowledge essential to enable them to assess the normality of function of the cranio-cervico-mandibular complex as well as indications of pathology.

Practical:
The purpose of practical classes of the Course of Occlusion, TMJ and Orofacial Pain I is to give students a first contact with the specific clinical examination of the Unit, including muscle and joint palpation. Furthermore, the intention is to acquire practical skills in mounting study models in semi-adjustable articulator, as well as individualization.
