Description:

4 credits Analytical descriptions of the anatomy, development, variation, anomalies, wear trauma, and pathogenesis of dental structures and surfaces, as well as of the dental masticatory apparatus as part of the cranium form the basis of this course. Human dental morphology and function are examined in the context of our primate and hominid evolutionary phylogeny.
