Objectives

The objectives of this course are:

- To make the students competent in the field of theoretical concepts relative occlusion and temporomandibular joint, applying them in their clinical practice.

- To prepare students for the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial syndromes and disorders temproomandibulares.

- To enable students to understand the importance of the structures of the cranio-cervical-mandibular complex planning cases of prosthodontics.

- To prepare students for a correct diagnosis of key pathologies of the temporomandibular joint for proper planning and treatment of temporomandibular disorders and oral rehabilitation.

- To train students to perform a correct clinical examination, realizing the importance of mandibular kinematics in the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders

- To make the students competent in the use of Protar system as an aid to diagnosis.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Teaching through classes theoretical-practical. The lectures are interactive and fundamentally seek to exposure of matter contained in the "syllabus", with the collaboration of students. Audio visual means will also be used to a better understanding of issues. The classes have for objective the consolidation of subjects taught in clinical and laboratory level (study and practice of the articulators and use of axiografia).

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam
