Objectives

The objectives of this course aim to provide skills to students within the following themes:

- The importance of occlusion and temporomandibular joint in dentistry;

- The importance of the muscles of cranio-cervico-mandibular complex in the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial and temporomandibular joint syndromes;

- The relationship between prematurity and occlusal interference with muscles painful to palpation;

- The details of the temporomandibular joint fundamental to the diagnosis and treatment of pain syndromes/temporomandibular dysfunction;

- Mandibular kinematics and the importance of these movements in the etiology, diagnosis and therapy of pain syndromes/temporomandibular dysfunction;

- Understanding the 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).
