DENT 114 Genetics, Growth, & Development 6

Course Outline:

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to basic concepts of growth and development, maturational, aging processes of the tissues, systems within the craniofacial complex, and deviation and variation from the normal growth and development in order to prepare the student for the following Preclinical and Clinical stages.

Course Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, student should be able to:
1. Distinguish the molecular biology and genetics essential for oral biology.
2. Recognize the human embryology with a focus on embryonic development of the head, neck, face & oral cavity to recognize the abnormal development.
3. Outline the process of teeth development until their eruption and shedding to recognize their dental anomalies and their abnormal eruptive behavior.
4. Define the structure of the dental, oral and paraoral tissue and relate the normal structures with the clinical application to be base line for the future studies.
5. Recognize the development and the growth theories as well as the age changes of the craniofacial growth with comparisons of the different theories of growth to measure the normal growth pattern.
6. Recognize the essential nutrition actions and the effect of growth factors and hormones on the human growth and development to enhance optimal growth and development.
