Oral Histology & Dental Anatomy

Course Fee: INR 8000

Oral Histology & Dental Anatomy

This course provides a comprehensive study of oral histology and dental anatomy, covering the structure, development, and function of teeth and surrounding oral tissues. Topics include tooth morphology, numbering systems, differences between primary and permanent dentition, dental occlusion, and the development and histology of enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum, bone, and the periodontal ligament. The course also explores the oral mucous membrane, salivary glands, tooth eruption and shedding, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and the maxillary sinus. Emphasis is placed on understanding the anatomical and functional aspects of oral structures to support clinical applications in dentistry.
