Orthodontics and applied physics (2015/2016)
Teaching code
4S000287
Credits
3
Language
Italian
Location
ALA
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
Module: ORTODONZIA
-------
The aim of the Orthodontics’teaching is the acquisition by the student of the ability to:
- Know the principles of growth and development of the stomatognathic system.
- Recognize and distinguish between the eugnatic and disgnatic clinical aspects.
- Diagnose and classify the different occlusal clinical aspects, acquiring knowledge about the relatives therapeutic implications , both in young patients and in adults .
- Recognize the most complex cases to be referred to the Specialist in Orthodontics , as well as generic skills of the Dentist .
Module: FISICA APPLICATA ALL'ODONTOIATRIA
-------
The course aims to provide:
• the foundations of the experimental method, which is the basis of modern science and technology disciplines
• basic knowledge (physical quantities and physical laws) of mechanical phenomena, with examples and bioscience applications(biomechanics).
At the end of the course students will apply their knowledge to solve physics problems.

Module: FISICA APPLICATA ALL'ODONTOIATRIA
-------
Physical quantities and their measurement.
Definition of a physical quantity. Unit consistency and conversions. Standards and units. Uncertainty and significant figures.
The foundation of classical mechanics.
Forces and motion. Newton’s laws of motion and their application. Motion description: displacement, velocity and acceleration. Torque and rotation of rigid bodies.
Biomechanics.
Lever systems in the human body. Equilibrium in the human body.
Examination Methods
Module: ORTODONZIA
-------
Oral examination
Module: FISICA APPLICATA ALL'ODONTOIATRIA
-------
Written exam consisting in simple problem solving. After passing the written test an oral examination will assess the understanding of the main concepts and examine the development of the written test.
