Medical and Odontological Subsidiary Subjects 1, 11 credits

Ma B, Sh A and Nk B (or Fy A, Ke A and Bi A).

The course consists of four modules, 11.0 credits:

Module 1: Dental anatomy/Occlusal development (3.0 credits)
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the normal development of the primary and permanent teeth.
- identify teeth and describe the anatomy of the teeth.
- identify and describe the nomenclature and structure of the teeth and have
identify and tell the difference between primary and permanent teeth.

Module 2: Oral histology and cell biology (1.5 credits)
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- describe the structure of the cell and its components.
- relate the different cell organelles to their functions.
- explain and understand the central importance of cell and molecular biology.
- account for basic knowledge of craniofacial embryology.
- describe odontogenesis and its surrounding tissues.
- characterise in detail all stages of odontogenesis.
- describe the histological development up to the complete tooth.
- describe the histological structure of the oral mucous membrane and be able to relate to its functions.

Module 3: Functional anatomy (3.0 credits)
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- state and identify the main anatomic structures in the musculoskeletal system
the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the digestion apparatus, the urogenital organs,
the endocrine organs, the nervous system, the sensory organs and the head with medical terminology
(Latin).
- relate the systematic anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, the circulatory system, the respiratory system,
the digestion apparatus, the urogenital organs and the endocrine organs
to the specific function that each area has.
- relate the anatomy of the nervous system and the sensory organs to their functions.
- explain the relationship between the anatomy of the head and the functions of the head in the musculoskeletal system,
the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the digestion apparatus, the endocrine organs,
the nervous system and the sensory organs.

Module 4: General and oral microbiology (3.5 credits)
- describe the structure and classification of microorganisms, and account for their virulence and
pathogenesis.
- describe current guidelines for hygiene procedures and disease control within dental care.
- describe the basics of the immune system and its function.

The aim of the course is for the student to acquire basic knowledge about the different stages of odontogenesis, cell and molecular biology, the importance of microorganisms in infections, the structure and function of the immune system and basic knowledge about hygiene and disease transmission. Within the module on functional anatomy, the student is expected to acquire general knowledge of the anatomy of the body and the head and of how the anatomic structures of the body can be connected with different functions. The knowledge within the course will constitute the basis for continued studies and patient treatment.

The course consists of the following four modules that together include 11.0 credits:

Module 1: Dental anatomy/Occlusal development 3.0 credits
Module 2: Oral histology and cell biology 1.5 credits
Module 3: Functional anatomy 3.0 credits
Module 4: General and oral microbiology 3.5 credits

Module 1: Dental anatomy/Occlusal development 3.0 credits
The study forms consist of lectures, seminars, compulsory participation in clinical demonstration, pair and group work and self-study.

Module 2: Oral histology and cell biology 1.5 credits
The study forms are constituted by lectures and group work with a virtual histological computer program and self-study with study questions.

Module 3: Functional anatomy 3.0 credits
The study forms are constituted by lectures and group work with model studies and self-study.

Module 4: General and oral microbiology 3.5 credits
The study forms are constituted by lectures, seminars, demonstrations, group work, mandatory laboratory sessions and self-study.

Module 1: Dental anatomy/Occlusal development 3.0 credits
Individual written examination and compulsory participation in clinical demonstration.

Module 2: Oral histology and cell biology 1.5 credits Individual written examination.

Module 3: Functional anatomy 3.0 credits Individual written examination.

Module 4: General and oral microbiology 3.5 credits Individual written examination and compulsory participation in laboratory sessions.

For all modules compulsory participation in seminars, demonstrations, pair and group work and laboratory sessions applies. The course coordinator decides whether and if so how absence can be made up.

To achieve the pass with distinction grade for the whole course, the pass with distinction grade is required on all parts in the modules Dental anatomy/Occlusal development, Functional anatomy and General and oral microbiology, and at least a pass grade in oral histology and cell biology.

Limitation of number of test or practical training sessions
Students who do not pass a regular examination are entitled to re-sit the examination on five more occasions. If the student has failed six examinations/tests, no additional examination is given. Each occasion the student participates in the same test counts as an examination. Submission of a blank exam paper is regarded as an examination. In case a student is registered for an examination but does not attend, this is not regarded as an examination.

- A course evaluation will be carried out according to the guidelines established by the Board
of Education.
- This course may not be included in a higher education qualification along with a completed course whose
contents completely or partly correspond to this course.
