B-Professional Information
1-Programme Aims
Comprehensive knowledge of histology of the tooth and its supporting tissues, the bones of the jaw, salivary
glands, maxillary sinus, and the articulation between the jaws (tempromandibular joints TMG). A brief
description of development of the head, face, and jaws is helpful in understanding the complex events involved
in cephalogenesis,in order to understand further clinical oro- dental subjects
2-Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)
a- Knowledge & Understanding:
1- Knowing of tooth and its supporting structures histology and embryology.
2-Knowing of macro and microanatomy of oral mucosa, salivary glands, maxillary sinus, and
tempromandibular joints.
3-Knowing development and growth of the head, face, and jaws
4-Knowing the speciment fixation, preparation, staining and slide formation
for microscopical investication and diagnosis
5- Knowing how to deal with the light microscope
b) Intellectual Skills
1- Understand the eventual application of biologic approaches in the dental clinic that help in diagnosis
and treatment of dental and oral diseases
2- Recognize the pulp morphology and histology to be able to treat them perfectly
c) Professional &Practical skills .
1-Knowing the microscopic preparations and evaluations of histological speciments for diagnosis of oral
and dental diseases.
2- Knowing the microanatomy of tooth enamel, dentine, cementum, pulp, periodontal ligaments and
bone.
3-Knowing the microscopic structures of oral mucosa, salivary gland, maxillary sinuses and TMG.
4-Knowing the specific anatomy of jaws to deal with tooth movements for orthodontic treatments
5-Diagnose developmental anomalies of teeth morphology and alignment may affect the
periodontium, normal occlusion and TMG..
d-General and Transferable Skills
1- Uderstanding the eventual application of biologic approaches in the dental clinic that help in diagnosis
and treatment of dental and oral disease
2- Knowing the specimen fixation, preparation, staining and slide formation for microscopical investigation
and diagnosis.
3-
Knowing how to deal with the light microscope
E - Attitude:
E1.The graduate should be friendly and helpful with his colleagues

5-Programme Admission Requirements
A graduate applicant must have a bachelor’s degree of oral and dental science with a record at the required
level (pass for Diplomas and at least good for master degrees).
6-Regulations for progression and program completion
Student should go through several ways of assessment to grantee their progression through the oral biology
course; these methods of assessments are as follows:
1-Written exam ….. to assess : understanding & studies
2-Oral exam ………. to assess: displaying information's
3-Practical exam …. to assess: recognizing normal histological structures of teeth and oral cavity
