Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Dentistry (programme LF, M-DENT)
• Dentistry (eng.) (programme LF, M-ZL)

Course objectives

Oral histology and embryology are among the subjects that provide knowledge on the basic structural, developmental, and functional aspects of structures in the orofacial area with a specific focus on the tooth. The course focuses on the microstructure and development of the tooth, salivary glands, palate, tongue, gingiva, tonsils, temporomandibular joint, and other related tissues. This course aims not only to present the complex study material, but also on a mutual discussion between students and lecturers to enable students to understand the reasons responsible for the organization of specific microstructure and to put it in context with development and evolution.

Learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to equip students of dentistry with detailed knowledge of the microscopic structure and development of tissues and organs of the orofacial area.
At the end of this course, students should:
1) know and understand in detail the microstructure of various tissues and organs of the orofacial area at the microscopic level,
2) understand and be able to describe the dynamics of the development of structures in this area,
3) be able to describe deviations from the physiological conditions and understand the causes of related pathological changes in the organs of the orofacial area,
4) be able to use the acquired knowledge in related clinical subjects and in the study of scientific literature.

Syllabus

• Week 2: Lips, palate, cheeks, tongue
• Week 4: Salivary glands
• Week 6: Tonsils; Introduction to the tooth
• Week 8: Dentinopulpal complex
• Week 10: Tooth development
• Week 12: Science and research, regenerative dental medicine
• Week 14: Credit test

Literature

recommended literature
• NANCI. Ten Cates Oral Histology. Development, Structure and Function. 6th ed. USA: Mosby, 2003. info

Teaching methods

Practicals consist of
1) Extended theoretical background, including discussions focused on the presented topic
2) Microscopy of selected samples from the orofacial area, including embryological samples to the study of tooth development
3) Introduction to dental research

Assessment methods

Credit test focused on understanding the microstructure and development. The criterion for admission to the credit test is 100% participation in the practicals.

Language of instruction

English

Further comments (probably available only in Czech)

The course is taught annually.
