Course Objectives:	The aim of the course is to evaluate the anatomical and physiological features of permanent teeth and to apply basic modeling skills. This course provides information about the oral cavity, morpholo-gy and anatomy of permanent teeth, inter-arch and inter-dental relations, replicating the anatomy of permanent teeth for future application of dental and prosthetic materials, temporomandibular joint anatomy-function, and occlusion.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

1.Debate anatomical and morphological features of teeth.
2.Distinguish the dental formula, numbering concept, and numbering systems.
3.Debate the mechanism of human masticatory system.
4.Debate physiological considerations for stabilization of dental arches.
