DHYG-313 : Anatomy of Orofacial Lecture / Laboratory

The course covers anatomical structures and their relationships on structures of the head and neck. Students will leave this course not only with knowledge of the structure and relationships among the head and neck, but will also be conversant with anatomical terminology that will be used in other basic science courses and in their clinical practice. Also, this course is designed to provide opportunities for the student to learn the structure, morphology and function of the teeth and their supporting structures. Lectures, labs and identification exercises are incorporated. These will emphasize normal clinical appearance of the teeth and oral tissues as they apply to clinical dental hygiene.
