Detailed knowledge of the anatomical structure and the role of the two dentitions (temporary and permanent) of the human being is fundamental for the future dentist to able to successfully perform preventive and curative treatments.
The dental treatment is aimed at both restoring alterations of the dentition and their optimal form and function. Healthy dentition, both in form and function, is the model to imitate when performing procedures as diverse as prostheses, fillings, root canals or orthodontic treatments, and it is only by knowing the exact internal and external morphology of all the teeth that we can perform dental treatments with success.
This course is essential for each and every one of the clinical disciplines that students will follow in subsequent courses.
Knowledge of the anatomical structures of the head and neck, specifically in the oral cavity and teeth, will help students to understand aspects of dental eruption, tooth position and function within the complex neuromuscular system that performs such important functions as chewing and swallowing and that is significantly involved in speech and in the relationship between people.
1. To gain knowledge of the precise and detailed external and internal anatomy of each tooth.
2. This anatomical knowledge will enable an understanding of the function of each individual tooth and of the dental groups to which they belong.

SECTION VI: DESCRIPTIVE ANATOMY AND MORPHOLOGY OF THE TEMPORARY TEETH
Se realizará tres horas de contenidos teóricos siendo reforzados estos mediante tres horas de practicas divididas en dos grupos y dos actividades por semana.
Mediante moodle se reforzará los contenidos de la semana por medio de tareas, cuestionarios, foros, actividades, etc.
The final evaluation of the subject is made by means of the grade resulting from the sum of the grades of the following three blocks:
1-. PRACTICE: 35% of the final grade. The student must have a minimum of 50% of the score of this block to be able to pass the subject.
- Practice (15%) ASSISTANCE TO PRACTICE IS COMPULSORY. The absence with or without justification to more than three sessions will make it impossible for the student to examine himself and, therefore, to pass the subject, having to recover the practices to be able to present himself in the next convo. For the recovery of these practices the student must pass a written exam before the theoretical exam of the next call.
- Exam (20%)
2-. CONTINUOUS EVALUATION: 15% of the final grade. This grade arises from:
- Attitude and aptitude (3%)
-Moodle (12%)
3-. THEORY: 50% of the final grade. It will consist of a single test of 30 short questions. The student will have two minutes of time to answer each question. Each question will have a value of two points. This part will be considered approved with a minimum of 40 points out of 60 of the total. Only half will be made with the practices from 35 points.
Those students who are repeating the subject and have the approved block of practices will be able to choose to keep the grade for this block by completing a paper. Failure to deliver or approve said work leads to the suspension of the block of practices and the suspension of the subject in this call. For the recovery of practice section, the student must pass a written exam before the theoretical exam of the next call.
