Objectives

The UC aims to obtain knowledge about the morphology of the permanent teeth of the posterior group, deciduous teeth, embryonic development of teeth and the orofacial massif, angiology and neurology of the stomatognathic system.

Learning outcomes and competences

Students should develop skills and abilities to identify teeth, understand the embryonic development of teeth and the oroacial mass, and the blood vessels and nerves of the head, face, and oral cavity. They should incorporate into their development a critical understanding of the importance of this knowledge in the etiology of pathologies and in terms of their clinical manifestations and implications.

Working method

Presencial

Program

DENTAL MORPHOLOGY - Study of the general and specific morphological characteristics of the permanent teeth of the posterior group and the deciduous dentition, tooth eruption, chronology of tooth eruption, study of the morphological differences between the deciduous and permanent dentitions, and dental anomalies.
EMBRYOLOGY - General and specific study of human orofacial embryology, the oral cavity and teeth, and dental malformations.
ANGIOLOGY - Introduction to angiology, study of blood vessels and vascular patterns, the carotid system, the triangles of the neck, and blood vessels of the head and neck.
NEUROLOGY - Introduction to neurology, divisions of the CNS, general considerations of the PNS and ANS, cranial nerves, surface anatomy of the head and neck, and tissue spaces of the face and neck.
PHYSIOLOGY OF THE STOMATOGNATHIC SYSTEM - Mastication, phonation, swallowing, respiration, and digestion.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical classes - Presentation and explanation of oral morphology, embryology of the orofacial system and teeth, angiology, neurology, and physiology.


Theoretical-practical classes - Presentation and explanation of oral morphology, embryology of the orofacial system and teeth, angiology, neurology, and physiology.


Practical classes - Dental sculpting made in wax using the subtraction and addition methods. Completion of worksheets related to the material taught.


Use of a virtual learning environment implemented through the Moodle platform for teaching oral morphology, embryology, and anatomy of the stomatognathic system.

Eligibility for exams

Attendance of at least 75% of theoretical-practical and practical classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

Theoretical assessment with an exam at the end of the semester focusing on the subject taught in the semester that will have a weighting of 50% in the final classification.


Practical assessment with a practical exam at the end of each semester focusing on the subject taught in the semester which will count with 50% for the final practical boot. The continuous assessment obtained in practical classes will count with the remaining 50% for the final grade of this component. The average of the marks obtained in these two practical components, continuous assessment and final exam, will have a weighting of 50% in the final classification.


The final grade results from the sum of the grades from the theoretical (50%) and practical (50%) components.


Minimum score in each of the evaluation components, theoretical and practical, of nine point zero values out of twenty.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Student-worker - assessment based on a written, theoretical and practical exam on the subject taught during the semester without continuous assessment.

Classification improvement

Taking a theoretical and practical exam focusing on the material taught during the semester, maintaining the grade from the continuous practical assessment, whenever applicable.
