Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The objective of this course is to provide information about the formation, development, developmental abnormalities, of hard and soft tissues in the craniofacial region during the prenatal and postnatal periods and orthodontic tooth movement .
Course Content:	Within the scope of this course, topics such as the prenatal and postnatal development of soft and hard tissues, formation of cleft lip and palate, fundamental principles of bone tissue development, postnatal growth of the maxilla-mandibular complex, biomechanics and histology of tooth movement, and others will be discussed.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) The individual gains the ability to understand the embryological processes in the craniofacial region and can discuss normal and abnormal somatic growth as well as craniofacial growth.
2) They can accurately and comprehensively diagnose abnormalities in craniofacial (skull and facial region) development.
3) They can diagnose clefts of the lip and palate.
4) They can sequence the stages of dentition development, differentiate the normal and abnormal development of deciduous and permanent teeth, and make diagnoses.
5) They can identify dental and skeletal malocclusions.
6) They can perform cephalometric analysis and model analysis.
