    Description
    Intense study of the components of the stomatognathic system and how each corresponds to functional occlusion. Detailed review of the functional components of anterior and posterior teeth, analysis of the difference between malocclusion, normal occlusion. Laboratory projects involve learning to design and recognize various functional occlusion types: bilaterally balanced, unilaterally balanced, cusp-fossa and mutually protected occlusions. Total of 27 hours lecture and 54 hours laboratory.
