DHE 107 - Oral Embryology and Histology 2 Credits, 2 Contact Hours 2 lecture periods 0 lab periods The development and histology of teeth related to the intra and extra oral tissues of the head as they relate to the practice of dental hygiene. Includes terminology and formation of primary embryonic layers, histology, tooth development, enamel, dentin, and pulp. Also includes cementum, periodontal ligament, bone and alveolar process, mucous membranes, and salivary glands.

Course Learning Outcomes
- Identify normal growth and development of the face and oral structures at the cellular level by distinguishing enamel, dentine, and pulp at the microscopic and macroscopic level.
- Describe the processes of tooth development in utero which correlates to growth and development of oral structures.
- Identify bones, nerves, lymphatic or blood vessels by location and muscles and their relationship to occlusion and mastication.
Performance Objectives:
- Describe the processes which occur at the cellular level in the growth and development or oral structures.
- Differentiate among enamel, dentin, and pulp at the microscopic and macroscopic level.

- Explain the muscles and their relationship to occlusion and mastication.
- Identify bones, nerves, lymphatic or blood vessels by location.
- Determine injection sites by identifying nerve innervations of individual teeth.
- Identify normal growth and development of the face and oral structures.
