Oral Biology
The Dentaljuce Oral Biology module will refresh you on the basics of oral biology - development of the oral cavity and the structure of its tissues, and in the Practical Tooth Anatomy section we will take you through the surface anatomy of teeth in the detail necessary to provide superb aesthetic and cosmetically pleasing restorations.
The Oral Biology online learning module has clear and concise aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes, listed below. These will appear on the Dentaljuce Enhanced CPD Certificate, along with the time spent, dates, and detailed topics you studied within the module. Certificates can be printed at any time, covering any range of dates. Dentaljuce CPD complies with the UK GDC's requirements for enhanced verifiable continuing professional development.
Before starting this module, check that the learning outcomes are what you require, and that you have entered the need into your PDP. Here is an example PDP entry for this module.
