Course objectives
Main objective of this course is to supply students of dentistry with detailed microstructural and developmental knowledge of orofacial region.
At the end of the course students should be able to:
1) repeat all important facts concerning the microscopic anatomy and embryology of organs of the orofacial system and interpret them in correct relations,
2) discuss clinical implications of obtained microstructural a embryological observations and facts,
3) describe existing aberrations or developmental changes in organs of orofacial region and explain their possible causes,
4) use obtained theoretical knowledge of microanatomy and embryology of orofacial organs in related clinical disciplines.
