Objectives

The aim of the Course Unit Occlusion, TMJ and Orofacial Pain II is to give students the basic knowledge of orofacial pain, as well as the ability to make differential diagnosis with other diseases with overlapping signs and symptoms. In addition, we intend to address the different treatment options of temporomandibular disorders.

Students must develop skills to plan a semi-adjustable articulator and fabricate an occlusal stabilization splint.

Program

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

- Presence in 75% of classes;
- Laboratory work: assembling individualized models in semi-adjustable articulator + making occlusal stabilization splint;
- Final report of the activity developed in theoretical and practical laboratory classes;

Students covered by special laws that dispense with the presence in the classroom, will undertake a written test and an oral test, where the skills will be evaluated for approval to the Course.

Calculation formula of final grade

Discontinuous assessment - 45% (2 written tests - minimum score: 7.0 points)

Continuous assessment - 45% (laboratory work, final report)

Attendance - 10%
