LECTURE OUTLINE CORRELATED TO INSTRUCTOR PRESENTATIONS IN POWERPOINT
The presentations provided contain lecture notes. The notes can be viewed in PowerPoint when viewing the
slides in either the normal or outline view. To print the slides with the notes: From your print box look for the
“Print What” and change the drop-down to “Notes Pages.” A new feature called “Dental Checks” has been
interspersed throughout the presentations to keep the student engaged in the materials during the lecture.
This feature contains a quick question followed by the answer to stimulate a brief discussion.
iv. Tongue
vii. Teaching Strategy: Use an intraoral camera to show the various landmarks of the face and oral cavity.
Include diagrams for the students to label.
iii. Teaching Strategy: Use a model of a skull to identify the bones of the cranium and face.

TEACHING STRATEGIES
1. Chapter contents are presented in the PowerPoint slides found on the Instructor Resource Center.
2. Much of the content in this chapter is going to have to be remembered by the student and then applied in the
clinical setting.
3. Have the students research a disease that affects each area of the head and neck that is discussed, and then
arrange group discussions on how the disease/condition affects the patient and what the dental assistant
could do to make a dental appointment easier for this patient.
4. Have the students continue to “build a person.” Each student could add on to his or her own person or to
the person built in a small group. The students could be responsible for all areas or for just one to complete
this project. This exercise helps students learn head and neck anatomy, encourages creativity, and
builds teamwork.
1. Primarily the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) area, including the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone,
the articular eminence of the temporal bone, the condyloid process of the mandible, the articular disc,
and a dense fibrous capsule containing the synovial fluid are the components of the head and neck affected.
2. The disc in the TMJ can become displaced or stuck, causing more severe problems as time passes.
3. The dental assistant can review the health history, notify the dentist, and note the symptoms on the
patient’s chart.
