Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. will be able to solve the physiological relations related to dental arch and stabilization of arches.
2. will be able to evaluate the occlusion forces and the effects of these forces.
3. will be able to summarize lower jaw movements, movement axes and planes.
4. Will be able to define the temporomandibular joint.
5. will be able to discuss the anatomy and mechanisms of the human chewing system.
6. Will be able to explain the parts, structures and functions of the temporomandibular joint.
7. will be able to evaluate the effect of the human chewing system on the occlusal morphology of the teeth.
8. will be able to distinguish the effects of Bennet angle, condylar path slope, incisor path slope on occlusion.
9. Will be able to compare occlusion theories and optimum occlusion criteria knowing the difference.
10. Will be able to distinguish between occlusion types and explain their differences.
11. The importance and application area of additional cone technique and functional pathway technique in restorative procedures
will be able to summarize.
