I have an enoromous problem with morphology of different teeth. Need some advice how to remember all the impotant landmarks and how to differenciate maxillary and mandibular, left and right.

Is that what you guys are concerned with in dental school? Wow. I'm impressed. I really didn't know there was much of a difference between morphology of teeth with respect to position.

As you can probably tell, we skipped teeth during head and neck anatomy. Our professors said this country had plenty of qualified dentists to concern themselves with teeth. But when asked why we were studying foot anatomy, one professor said, "Well, we have qualified dentists who know their stuff, but would you ever want to go to a podiatrist?" http://www.studentdoctor.net/bbs/smile.gif

I was about to get mad at you for posting your comment about podiatrist, but I have a anatomy professor who taught at a Osteopathic school and he thinks most Osteopathic students are MD wannabes(I dont agree with him though) who get a watered down MD curriculum. I guess all schools have jerks in faculty positions.
