| Study course description | |||||||||
| Preliminary Knowledge: | General knowledge of human anatomy, basics of terminology, Latin language basic knowledge, chemestry, biology. | ||||||||
| Objective: | Students acquire knowledge about the structure and morphology of permanent and primary teeth (incisors, canines, premolars and molars), their functions and form. To develop students’ theoretical skills in order to recognize dental hard tissue disorders and make decisions about their prevention and management at individual and population levels. | ||||||||

| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Selection of special literature in Dental Anatomy and their use, analysis of theoretical material, independent analysis of preparations and organization of practical lessons, performance of tasks. Individual work in Cariology in the preparation of presentations according to the course topics, analysis of clinical cases, carrying out scientific independent work - work with literature, creating summaries, conducting research work using the regulations on students' scientific independent work. Filling in the study course evaluation questionnaire. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | During the study course, students must successfully pass the theoretical tests of all practical classes in dental anatomy. At the end written test in dental anatomy on what was learned in lectures and classes. Passed by giving 55% correct answers. In cariology, tests on the lecture material after each lecture - evaluation passed/failed. Attendance at least 75%. Exam at the end of the semester (written) - evaluation criteria are available in e-studies. The course is passed if both parts are successfully completed. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | As a result of studying dental anatomy, students acquire basic knowledge of dental anatomy, morphology and functionality. As a result of studying cariology, the student: - will describe the structure, functions, pathology of hard tissues of teeth, - will define the role of local and general factors - microorganisms, carbohydrates, tooth-saliva interaction, fluorides, nutrition, socio-economic factors in the origin of caries and dental hard tissue pathologies; - will classify the clinical manifestations of caries and dental hard tissue pathologies. | ||||||||
| Skills: | In Dental anatomy, students are able to identify each group of teeth in the upper and lower jaws, distinguish a tooth from the right and left side, distinguish primary and permanent teeth by general morphological characteristics. In Cariology, the student will be able to: - choose the appropriate treatment method and material for caries and dental hard tissue pathologies, observing indications and contraindications, - assess the condition and prognosis of the patient's dental hard tissues, caries activity and caries risk, -create a treatment plan, integrating the treatment into the overall oral cavity recovery plan - evaluate treatment results and prognosis, expected possible complications, develop possible ones prevention of complications and, if necessary, to change the treatment plan. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Upon completion of the course students will be able to practically apply the acquired knowledge in dental anatomy, morphology and functionality. Will be able to explain each tooth group in the upper and lower jaws, differentiate between the right and left teeth, differentiate between primary teeth and permanent teeth according to the general morphological characteristics in everyday work as dental hygienist. On successful completion of the course Cariology, the students will be able to evaluate, prevent and control caries and other dental hard tissue disorders, to explain their integration in oral health system and interaction with other oral disorders and general health. | ||||||||
