Dental Anatomy Practicals

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. demonstrate the knowledge about ideal morphology of mandibular molar teeth; 2. create the ideal dental anatomy of permanent mandibular molar by waxing and carving; 3. recreate appropriate anatomical features in wax in a laboratory session and demonstrate subsequently, competency in performing such exercises; and 4. self-evaluate waxed teeth by using the self-assessment rubric and compare software.

Develop the knowledge about using waxing instruments in the correct manner. Create different structures with dental wax to develop psychomotor skills. Create the ideal dental anatomy of a permanent anterior tooth by subtractive manner using soap carving technique. Develop the skills to critically self-evaluate waxed teeth by using the self-assessment rubric and compare software.
