Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:
Goals:
- Develop knowledge and integration in their application in the anatomy and physiology of dental pieces sculpture as members of the stomatognathic system.
- Acquire knowledge about the anatomy of the dental pieces and interrelation of the same in the oral cavity.
- Provide students with practical knowledge (sculpture and drawing) to enable it to carry out replicas of the teeth.
- Encourage not only the practice of these works but the interest of the oral morphology.
Skills:
- Understanding of the material taught in the sense of accomplishment of the sculpture and design of dental pieces.
