| Description |
The major goal of this course is to provide the student with current, basic knowledge of the development, structure and function of the oral and Para oral soft and hard tissues. The age changes of hard dental tissues and the mechanisms of organic matrix formation and mineralization of hard dental structures are stressed. Our objective is to integrate the histological structures of the tooth and Para tooth hard and soft tissues with their genesis and development. Also to correlate these histological structures with their clinical applications.
