Course objectives
Main objective of lectures are to supply students of dentistry with detailed knowledge in microanatomy and development of structures and organs of the orafacial region (system). During the whole course special attention is paid clinical implications of theoretical facts. At the end of lectures, students should be prepared to explore knowledge of the microstructure and embryology of the orofacial system under physiological conditions in the clinic and to understand and interpret with their help all changes or aberrations from the norm.
Syllabus
  • 1. week: Oral histology: Introduction - contents of subject, forms of teaching and texts recommended for study. The oral cavity and its content. Microscopic structure of the oral mucosa and its regionalization: lining mucosa, masticatory mucosa and specialized mucosa. Taste buds.
  • 3. week: General structure and classification of salivary glands. Histology of the major and minor salivary glands. Functions of saliva. Foundations of the comparative anatomy of teeth. The tooth and supporting tissues of the tooth - cementum, periodontal ligament and gingiva. Methods used for study of hard tooth tissues -decalcification of teeth, ground sections of undecalcified teeth.
  • 5. week: Basic structure of dentin, types of dentin, and its clinical importance. Microscopic structure of cementum and its clinical importance; hypertrophy of cementum. Microscopic organization of dental pulp and its function, age-related changes in the dental pulp. Dentin-pulp complex.
  • 7. week: Microscopic structure of the alveolar process, clinical aspects of bone reaction in the alveolar process. Anatomy and histology of the temporomandibular joint.
  • 9. week: Oral embryology: Birth defects - their causes, incidence and terminology. The human embryo aged fourth week. Head and neck of the embryo. Primitive mouth - the stomodeum - and development of the face.
  • 11. week: Development of the tongue and overview of its congenital malformations. Development of major salivary glands. Description of the pharyngeal apparatus of the embryo. Pharyngeal (branchial) arches and their derivatives. Derivatives of pharyngeal clefts and pouches.
  • 13. week: Early tooth development: dental lamina, bud, cup and bell stage. Crown and root formation. Development of the periodontal ligament. Deciduous tooth eruption.
