2nd "candidature" in dental sciences2
Holder(s) :Marie‑Paule Defresne
Course contents :
  • Tooth morphology
  • Tooth development
  • Dentinogenesis and structure of the complex dentine-dental pulp
  • Amelogenesis and structure of the enamel
  • Development and structure of the periodontum
  • Physiological movements of the tooth
  • Oral mucosa and salivary glands
Course objective : The objectives of this lectures are to describe the tissues of the tooth and of the oral cavity and to explain their morphological and functional relationships. The description of tooth development during embryogenesis and childhood and of tooth evolution with aging will permit to better understand the relations between morphology and function.
Prerequisites :
  • general histology
  • general immunology
  • oral biochemistry
  • oral physiology
  • oral anatomy
Workshops :
  • During practical lessons students observe microscopic slides of developing and adult teeth; they take place in the rooms of practical lessons at the Institut d'Anatomie, rue de Pitteurs, 20, 4020 Liège.
  • a part of the theoretic lessons (salivary glands and gustative buds) will be studied during seances of "learning by problems".
Organization : Lessons given during the S4 for the 2d candidature in dental science.
Theoretic lessons: 4 X 1h15
Practical lessons: 2 X 2h30
Two multidisciplinary seances of learning by problem.
Written notes : Illustrated notes are distributed to the students at the beginning of the lectures.
