Course objectives
The oral histology and embryology includes the study of histological slides, electron micrographs, embryological illustrations and schemes, embryological models, etc. that cover all important organs of the orofacial system.
At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1) describe microstructure and embryologic development of all organs of orofacial system in complexly extent, 2) analyze changes and deviations in the structure and development of organs of orafacial region and explain their causes, 3) apply the obtained knowledge and practical skills in related clinical branches.

2) analyze changes and deviations in the structure and development of organs of orafacial region and explain their causes,
3) apply the obtained knowledge and practical skills in related clinical branches.
Syllabus
  • 2. week: Oral histology: Microscopic structure of lips, cheek, palate and tongue. Slides: labium oris, palatum molle, apex linguae, papilla vallata, radix linguae.
  • 4. week: Microscopic structure and diagnosis of major salivary glands. Slides: gl. apicis linguae, gl. parotis, gl. submandibularis, and gl. sublingualis. Hard tooth tissues - their physical properties and chemical composition, and origin. Microscopic structure of enamel, age changes, defects of amelogenesis and dental caries.
  • 6. week: Microscopic structure of periodontal ligament, its function and clinical importance. Gingiva, gingival sulcus, mucogingival and dentogingival junctions, age changes and clinical implications. Differences in structure and composition of deciduous and permanent teeth. Slides: decalcified tooth (transverse or longitudinal sectioned).
  • 8. week: Oral embryology: Definition of growth and development. From the fertilized ovum (zygote) to the formation of germ layers, main derivatives of germ layers. Flexion of the embryo. Overview of the development of the external appearance of the human conceptus. Study aids: Set of embryological illustrations and schemes (I and II).
  • 10. week: Development of the oral cavity and vestibule. Development of nasal cavities. Formation of the primary and secondary palates. Development of the mandible and maxilla. Overview of clefts of the maxilla and palate. Development of the nose including congenital defects. Exercise: Congenital clefts of the face, maxilla and secondary palate on schemes, pictures and models.
  • 12. week: Overview of birth defects related with maldevelopment of the brachial apparatus of the embryo. Odontogenesis (tooth development). Epithelial - mesenchymal interactions during tooth development, staging of tooth development. Slides: microscopic study of slides illustrating the tooth development.
  • 14. week: Formation of the permanent dentition and its eruption. Development of the alveolar process. Overview of congenital tooth defects. Repair and regeneration of oral tissues. Exercise: Chronology of tooth development and the order of eruption. Credit.

Teaching methods
practise (course of microscopy + embryological demonstrations)
Assessment methods
Histology course is based on microscopy of histological slides that cover all important organs of the orofacial region; for embryology teaching are used microscopic slides of developing teeth, sets of embryological illustrations and schemes, class discussion and problem directed guides and presentations of the teacher. Practices are closed by credit given; a precondition for it is full attendance.
Language of instruction
English
