DMD-702: Dental Morphology

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to dental morphology, focusing on the structure, function, and identification of human dentition. Through an integrated approach combining didactic lectures, case-based discussions, and hands-on laboratory experiences, students develop foundational knowledge of tooth anatomy and occlusion. Emphasis is placed on accurate tooth identification, anatomical terminology, and the replication of natural tooth form through waxing exercises. The course fosters critical thinking and preclinical skill development, which is essential for restorative dentistry and treatment planning, serving as a foundation for subsequent clinical application.
