Gnathology practice

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2023-2024

Topic

The aim of the lectures is to acquire the knowledge of the anatomy and function of chewing apparatus. Students learn the types and use of articulators.
The aim of the practices is to learn the occlusal anatomy of the teeth, and to wax up the occlusal surfaces of premolar and molar teeth according to the technology of HC Lundeen in order the better understanding the occlusion and articulation movements. Students learn the types and use of articulators and face-bow.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Requirements for students - Active participation on lectures and practices, based on the Study and Exam Regulations of the University, - Attendance of lectures and practices is mandatory. - Completion of the tasks in the laboratory - The student receives marks for the practical tasks in the training laboratory. The average must be at least 2.0. If the student gets 3 or more failed marks during the semester for his/her practical work, then the semester can not be evaluated and accepted. The practical tasks, which are not finished, also considered as failed mark. - Average of the marks of written or oral tests relating the theoretical knowledge which is necessary to carry out the practical work. - Form of tests: oral test, written test, etc. If the test considered as failed, the student gets one opportunity to rewrite the test. If the student gets further failed mark, the semester/practice is not accepted, it can not be evaluated. - If either of the above averages (for the practical work or the relating theory) does not reach 2.0 the end semester practical mark can not be evaluated and accepted, the student has to repeat the course.

Mid-term exams

Two mid-term tests.

Making up for missed classes
