Study Notes
Introduction to Oral Biology
- The course aims to build basic knowledge about normal oral structures, which will be applied in future clinical courses and practice.
Overview of Oral Tissues
- Physical and chemical composition of oral tissues will be studied.
- Growth and development of oral tissues will be explored.
- Anatomy and histology of oral tissues will be examined.
- Functions of oral tissues will be discussed.
Tooth Eruption and Shedding
- The physiologic process involved in tooth eruption and shedding will be studied.
Formation and Development of Orofacial Tissues
- The formation and development of normal orofacial tissues will be explored.
Microscopic and Macroscopic Structures
- The interrelationship between macroscopic and microscopic structures of the oral cavity will be examined.
Chemical Composition of Oral Tissues
- The chemical composition of enamel, dentine, cementum, and bones will be studied.
- Differences between these tissues will be discussed.
Biology of Periodontium and Other Oral Structures
- The biology of the periodontium will be explored.
- The oral mucous membrane and salivary glands will be studied.
Oral Embryology and Anatomy
- Development of dentition will be examined.
- Formation of the oral cavity will be studied.
- Formation of the tongue will be explored.
Oral Histology and Physiology
