Abstract| Students will undertake a clinically relevant and systematic program of learning in the functional anatomy of the head and neck. There will be a strong emphasis on structure and function as it relates to dentistry with a special focus on local analgesia relative to craniofacial anatomy and the nervous system. Students will also be introduced to the concepts of exodontics and pulp therapy especially in the context of local anatomical considerations. |
