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
- Oral histology will be studied.
- Oral physiology will be explored, including the types of oral tissues.
Types of Oral Tissues
- Hard tissues: bones of the jaws, teeth
- Soft tissues: mucosa of the mouth, salivary glands
- Hard (mineralized) tissues: enamel, dentin, cementum
- Soft (nonmineralized) tissue: pulp
Clinical Significance
- Understanding the development of oral tissues is crucial.
- Understanding the structure of oral tissues is essential.
- Understanding the function of oral tissues is vital.
- Understanding oral diseases is crucial.
