COURSE CONTENT
Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Apply knowledge pertaining to the permanent and primary dentition, tissues of the teeth,
dental anomalies, and descriptive terminology to the clinical practice of dental hygiene.
2. Use the knowledge of anatomy and morphology during instrumentation.
Objectives:
Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Name, describe and locate the anatomy of permanent and primary dentition.
2. Identify and explain the morphologic differences between the primary and permanent
dentition.
3. List the eruption and exfoliation sequence of primary dentition and the eruption sequence of
permanent dentition.
4. Define the descriptive terminology as related to the maxillary/mandibular arches, teeth, and
related structures.
5. Differentiate anomalies of both permanent and primary dentition.
6. Demonstrate the Universal, International Standard Organization (ISO) and Palmer systems of
tooth identification.
7. Discuss how root anatomy and morphology determine instrumentation techniques.
8. Describe the classification of occlusion and recognize early signs of deviation in deciduous,
mixed, and permanent dentitions.
9. Identify the regions of the oral cavity proper, and the head and neck.
10. Discuss the relationship of periodontal diseases and the support structures.
11. Analyze and respond to the types of concerns that a parent might ask a dental health
professional regarding the importance and function of primary teeth.
12. Chart existing restorations, unsound dentition, missing teeth, impacted teeth and dental
anomalies and conditions.
13. Discuss the clinical implications of anomalies, malocclusion, restorations, and oral habits on
the dentition.
14. Perform an extra and intraoral exam using correct palpation techniques.
15. Chart existing restorations, occlusion, and conditions of the oral cavity.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing. | Writing 0 - 0% |
None | |
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course. |
|
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills. | Problem Solving 30 - 40% |
Teeth anatomical features and identification, oral cavity and facial landmarks, identification of restorations, occlusion, eruption and exfoliation sequences. | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 10 - 20% |
Extra and intraoral exam, charting assignments, teeth drawings. | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 40 - 50% |
Quizzes, written and laboratory midterm, written and laboratory final. | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 0 - 0% |
