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.


Member Feedback on Oral Biology
- Very helpful, detailed and useful description of tooth anatomy and its supporting structures.
- This module provides a very sound foundation in Oral biology as well as structural tooth anatomy

Module Aims and Outcomes
Aim
The aim of the learning and teaching materials in this Dentaljuce module is to allow learners to develop their professional knowledge and understanding in the field of oral biology, in line with their identified personal learning requirements.
Course objective
- to refresh and update the dental professional's knowledge of oral biology so that their patient management reflects the biological basis of health and disease.
Anticipated learning outcomes:
The learner will:- learn how teeth and their supporting tissues develop, at both the macro and the histological level.
- gain excellent knowledge of the anatomy of teeth
- apply these concepts to the prevention of oral diseases, and the restorative management and treatment of patients with these diseases.
- through achieving these outcomes, provide an improved level of service to their patients.
GDC Development Outcomes
This CPD will support the learner in meeting the following GDC Development Outcome(s): C D.
