| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Selection and use of special literature, analysis of theoretical material, independent analysis of preparations and organization of practical lessons, performance of tasks. Completing the study course evaluation questionnaire. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | During the study course, students must successfully pass the theoretical tests of all practical lessons. At the end, a test on what was learned in lectures and classes. Passed by giving 55% correct answers. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Upon completion of the course students acquire basic knowledge of dental anatomy, morphology and functionality. | ||||||||
| Skills: | Students are able to recognise each tooth group maxilla and mandible, to recognise teeth from the right and left side, to distinguish between the primary teeth and permanent teeth according to the general morphological characteristics. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Upon completion of the course students will be able to practically apply the acquired knowledge in dental anatomy, morphology and functionality. Will be able to explain each tooth group in the upper and lower jaws, differentiate between the right and left teeth, differentiate between primary teeth and permanent teeth according to the general morphological characteristics in everyday work as dental hygienist. | ||||||||
