Course Description This is one of the courses provided by the Department of Oral Medicine and Surgery for undergraduate 2nd year students in the Bachelor Degree in the Science of Dentistry during the second semester. The course has two components, lectures and corresponding practical training in laboratories. The lecture topics cover detailed dental macroscopic anatomy and the basic principles of dental occlusion. Each lecture covers one class of permanent teeth and there is a separate lecture for deciduous teeth. The first two lectures present the dental notation systems and chronology of development and the last lectures introduce the fundamentals of dental occlusion. The practical sessions focus on developing the skills of carving different teeth out of wax blocks. This practice is assumed to help students recalling the details of tooth morphology and improving their manual skills. The latter is significant to have been developed before upgrading to 3rd year. The sessions also include practicing on dental notation, dental age estimation, occlusion as well as skills of tooth identification. By the completion of the practical sessions, each student has to hand in for assessment the laboratory book containing the completed duties that they have been asked to execute.

Course Objectives To practice on using different dental notation systems for both dentitions and to understand the concept of dental formula as a summary for mammalian dentitions. To recognize the importance of having two sets of dentitions in most mammals and to relate form to function in dental anatomy. To learn and apply the chronological standards of stages of deciduous and permanent tooth development and eruption. To learn the details of the newly-established standards of permanent tooth eruption specific to the Jordanian population (Shaweesh, A.). To know the sequence of eruption in each arch for both dentitions and its need in pediatric dentistry, orthodontics and forensic science. To learn the detailed anatomy of all deciduous and permanent teeth and

Additional Notes Attendance: Students must attend 100% of all scheduled classes and labs. Class participation is required. Should an absence be necessary, student should contact the course instructor by e-mail immediately. Work missed can ONLY make up with an excused absence. No make-up exams or quizzes will be given for unexcused absences Late arrivals to class are unexcused absences All course make-ups, test, and so forth, must be completed within 14 days from the date of the excused absence. Practical component: Practical training will take place in both the Prosthodontics Lab. (D1-L2) and the Conservative Dentistry (Cons) Lab. (D3 L1) simultaneously once on Monday and Wednesday from 9.15 am 1.15 pm. Accordingly, students will be divided into 4 practical sections according to the following table: Section 1 2 3 4 Day Mon Mon Wed Wed Time 9:15 1: 15 9:15 1: 15 9:15 1: 15 9:15 1: 15 Lab. Pros. Lab. Cons. Lab. Pros. Lab. Cons. Lab.

Each student will be allocated a lab code consisting of 4 digits. From left to right, the first digit stands for the section (1,2,3,4), the second and third digits are the bench number (01 15). The last digit stands for the order of the student on the bench (usually from 1 7). Students are instructed to recall their lab codes until the practical part is completed because the lab codes will act as their lab. IDs. At the beginning of each practical session, all students (the two sections on that day) should assemble in the Pros. Lab. to be introduced to the practical duties that they have to carry out on that day. This is followed by a detailed demonstration on casts, radiographs, tooth models and natural teeth under a live camera connected to monitors. In some weeks, short video clips on tooth carving and morphology of the tooth of the week will be run and watched through a monitor during the morning session. Once introduction and

demonstration are finished, the Cons. Lab section (Mon. Section 2 or Wed. Section 4) will relocate to the Cons. Lab to start carrying out the practical duties under supervision that may include: Tracing radiographs and assigning teeth to their suitable notation in different notation systems Tracing radiographs and estimating dental age Sketching tooth models, jaw models and occlusion curves Carving teeth out of wax blocks Answering given questions / quizzes Making comments after video clip watching. Identifying teeth Preparing and presenting posters illustrating certain topics (optional) In their practical training, students will be divided into groups, each group occupying a predetermined bench in the lab. and instructed to remain in the allocated location to carry out the practical duties for the full duration of the course. It is important to know that students are not allowed to switch groups, laboratories or sections in the practical part of this course. Tools and materials needed for the practical component: A mechanical pencil, an eraser and a ruler together with the Practical Book. The Practical Book should have alternating blank and lined A4 sheets A magnifying lens (optional) A graph-paper book with pre-sketched outlines of all aspects of permanent teeth. The book is available at Alfajr bookshop A blank graph-paper book for sketching outlines of teeth aspects with additional sheets for helping in tooth carving. The book is available at Alfajr bookshop Paper adhesive tape, soft tooth brush, retractable blade (( and pair of scissors Le Crone carver and a wax knife 12 colored wax carving blocks (the extra ones will be available in case the main ones have failed) Natural and plastic teeth (it is advisable that students start collecting natural teeth at the beginning of the course) to be used as reference for anatomy and carving and for tooth identification. These teeth / models will also be utilized in practical courses of third year. These are never a waste! Student instructor relationship Students are instructed to frequently access the uploaded handouts, recourses and extra learning materials on the e-learning link on the University's website. e-learning will also allow for mentor-student interaction through online evaluation in the form of tutorials, assignments and quizzes. Students will be able to view the outcomes of their evaluation uploaded on e-

learning. This includes the results the quizzes and the midterm practical exams. It is strongly recommended that the instructor is contacted either personally in his office within the frames of the office hours provided or through email / elearning. Contacting the instructors on their private mobile phones is prohibited and will unintentionally ruin the lecturer-student relationship.
