Catalog Description: | This course will provide the student with comprehensive instruction in macroscopic anatomy of the human dentition. The teeth are studied individually and collectively in terms of shape, function and relation to each other. The course content will provide the student with essential dental terminology to facilitate communication among dental professionals. This course will also address the eruption patterns of both deciduous and permanent dentitions. |

Dental hygiene students will implement community service activities 3. Dental hygiene students will build the foundations for lifelong learning. 4. Dental hygiene students will evaluate scientific research. |
Course Learning Outcomes: |
Upon completion of this course, student will be able to: 1. Identify, and use dental terminology to describe the components of the oral cavity and dentition. 2. Describe, and identify the surfaces of each permanent and primary tooth. 3. Identify, by name and number each tooth in the permanent and primary dentition. 4. Identify the parts of the crown and the root of the tooth both clinically and anatomically. 5. Differentiate, by function, incisors, canines, premolars and molars. 6. Demonstrate, by identifying deciduous and permanent teeth, the Universal, Palmer, and International tooth numbering systems. 7. Identify, through description or illustration, the crown and root morphology (shape, surface contours, margins, angles, ridges, grooves, fissures, pits, fossae, depressions, lobes, cingula, manelons) of the permanent posterior teeth. 8. Identify, through description or illustration, the crown and root morphology (shape, surface contours, margins, angles, ridges, grooves, fissures, pits, fossae, depressions, lobes, inclined planes, cusps) of the permanent posterior teeth. 9. Identify, by location, the contact areas for the permanent dentition. 10. Examine, though diagram and models, the anatomical detail of crown morphology for each family of teeth (incisors, canines, premolar, molars). 11. Given as many as five (5) aspects of the tooth, identify the morphological characteristics which distinguish one tooth from another of the permanent dentition. 12. Compare, using distinguishing anatomical characteristics, the differences in incisors, canines, and molars of the deciduous dentition. 13. Compare, through description or illustration, the morphological differences of the permanent and deciduous dentitions. 14. Identify, using root morphology, those root surfaces of the permanent dentition with developmental depressions. 15. Identify, using root morphology, the furcation involvement for the permanent maxillary and mand ibular posterior teeth. 16. Relate the importance of tooth morphology regarding clinical scaling and root planning. 17. Describe the pulp cavity for each tooth of the permanent dentition. 18. Discuss the relationship of oral anatomy with oral function. 19. Exmaine the affects of the self cleansing mechanism in relation to dental health. 20. Identify, through description or illustration, occlusion classifications for both permanent and deciduous dentitions. 21. Define malrelations for groups of teeth relating to occlusion. 22. Define malpositions of individual teeth relating to occlusion. 23. Describe the process of exfoliation of the the deciduous dentition. 24. Discuss, using generalizations and dates, the eruption pattern of the deciduous dentition. 25. Identify the calcification periods for both deciduous and permanent dentitions. 26. Identify the dates of crown completion, crown eruption and root completion for the permanent dentition. |
Methods of Evaluation: | Evaluation of student progress towards achieving the stated learning outcomes and performance objectives is the responsibility of the instructor, within the policies of the college and the department. Detailed explanations are included in the expanded Syllabus developed by the instructor for each section being taught. The course grade will be determined form the following criteria: POINTS ACHIEVED POINTS POSSIBLE Drawings: ________________ ________________ Exams: ________________ ________________ Topic Discussion Posts: ________________ ________________ Weekly Summeries: ________________ ________________ Final Exams: ________________ ________________ The course grade will be determined by totaling all points achieved by the student and dividing this number by the points possible for the course. This computation will result in a precentage grade. With this system, the student can calculate their progress at any given time during the course. The total number of points possible for each assignment, exam or discussions is subject to change at intstructor's discretion. Student will be notified of changes occure. Points Values are weighted 80% and the Topic discussion, weekly summaries and drawings are weighted 20%. |
Flexibility: |
It is the intention of the instructor to accomplish the objectives specified in the course syllabus. However, circumstances may arise which prohibit the fulfilling of this endeavor. Therefore, this syllabus is subject to change. When possible, students will be notified of any change in advance of its occurrence. |
Student Email Accounts: | Pensacola State College provides an institutional email account to all credit students. Pirate Mail is the official method of communication, and students must use Pirate Mail when communicating with the College. In cases where companion software is used for a particular class, emails may be exchanged between instructor and student using the companion software. |
Note: |
For students with a disability that falls under the Americans with Disability Act or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, it is the responsibility of the student to notify Student Resource Center for ADA Services to discuss any special needs or equipment necessary to accomplish the requirements for this course. Upon completion of registration with the Student Resource Center for ADA Services office, specific arrangements can be discussed with the instructor. |
