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
