The student can connect the principles of occlusion
and articulation with the producing of dental restorations, and understands the associations of morphology and occlusion. Student can produce esthetic and functional dental prostheses.

Having passed the subject, the student:
1.understands and uses the terminology of esthetics,
occlusion and articulation;
2. knows and recognizes the most important factors
influencing occlusion, the biomechanics of stomatognatic system, the criteria of optimal functional occlusion, the connections between lower and upper teeth in case of different occlusions;
3.recognizes the structure and functioning of tempo
romandibular joint, limited and functional motions of mandible, the connection between neuromuscular
system and occlusion;
4. is able to consider the principles of function,
occlusion and esthetics when producing dental prostheses;
5. is able to choose teeth according to the size, shape, colour and occlusion anomaly;
6. knows and is able to shape esthetic gumline taki
ng into account the anatomy and hygienic requirements of the mouth;
7. knows and recognizes the possibilities of characterization of artificial teeth and acrylic baseplate;
8. understands the connections between occlusion and mastication, speech and outer appearance of the face, principles of occlusion therapy;
9. knows and recognizes different types of articulators, their function and mechanisms and uses articulators in practical work in case of agreed level or using a face bow;
10. describes and evaluates the working process and
to the prepared work, analyses the reasons for success and failure.
