DHY 114 - Dental Anatomical Sciences

1. Assess deciduous and permanent dentitions
   1. Compare the dentitions of humans including any anatomical structures and describe the dentition using correct terminology and definitions.
   2. Demonstrate knowledge of the dental numbering systems and normal eruption sequence for the teeth in the deciduous and permanent dentitions
   3. Demonstrate a knowledge of the morphology of each surface of the crown as well as the root of each of the teeth in the deciduous and permanent dentitions
   4. Demonstrate a knowledge of the functions of the pulp and normal pulpal anatomy and morphology of all the teeth in the deciduous and permanent dentition
2. Examine the rational for dental charting and why the dental chart is considered a permanent legal record.
   1. Describe the sections of the Dentrix electronic patient record.
   2. Assemble the appropriate armamentarium and materials needed for charting.
   3. Record existing dental hard tissue restorations, prosthodontics, pathology, and services rendered.
   4. Read aloud recorded charting accurately using the proper dental terminology
3. Examine dental caries
   1. Define dental caries
   2. Explain techniques for caries detection and outline the process of dental caries
4. Examine human anatomy
   1. Identify the general anatomy of the oral cavity, face, bones of the head and neck, muscles of the head and neck and temporomandibular joint
   2. Identify the anatomic locations of the cranial nerves of the head and neck and know their paths and their functions.
   3. Identify the anatomic locations of veins and arteries of the head and neck and know their paths and their functions.
5. Know and identify landmarks and rationale for dental local anesthetic injections.
   1. Identify intraoral and extraoral landmarks for maxillary local anesthetic injections
   2. Identify intraoral and extraoral landmarks for mandibular local anesthetic injections
6. Examine the role of the lymphatic system.
   1. Discuss the components of the lymphatic system and their roles.
   2. Identify the anatomic location and names of the lymph nodes of the head and neck
7. Understand the infection process and the role that odontogenic infection can have on the teeth and the human body
8. Recall normal head and neck anatomy and be able to identify anomalies extraorally and intraorally.
   1. Recall normal anatomical position and shape of adult and deciduous dentitions and be able to identify anomalies if they exist
   2. Recall normal anatomical shape and position of the bones, muscles, and lymphatics of the head and neck and be able to identify anomalies if they exist.
