Student Workbook for Illustrated Dental Embryology, Histology and Anatomy


Synopsis


Margaret J. Fehrenbach

Summary

Chapter 1: Introduction to Dental Embryology and Histology

* Summary: An overview of dental development, from the initiation of tooth buds to the formation of fully mature teeth.
* Real Example: A prenatal ultrasound image showing the developing maxillary and mandibular incisor tooth buds.

Chapter 2: Early Dental Development

* Summary: The stages of tooth development, from the formation of the tooth germ to the differentiation of the dental papilla and dental follicle.
* Real Example: A histological section of a tooth germ, showing the enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental follicle.

Chapter 3: Crown Development and Calcification

* Summary: The process of enamel and dentin formation, from the initiation of enamel matrix secretion to the completion of dentinogenesis.
* Real Example: A photomicrograph of a developing tooth crown, showing the enamel, dentin, and pulp chamber.

Chapter 4: Root Development and Calcification

* Summary: The formation and development of the tooth roots, including the Hertwig's epithelial root sheath and the formation and growth of the periodontal ligament.
* Real Example: A radiograph of a partially erupted molar, showing the developing root and periodontal space.

Chapter 5: Dental Histology

* Summary: The microscopic structure of the teeth, including enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp.
* Real Example: A photomicrograph of a tooth cross-section, showing the different layers of the tooth.

Chapter 6: Periodontal Tissues

* Summary: The tissues surrounding the teeth, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone.
* Real Example: A clinical photograph of a healthy gingiva and surrounding periodontal tissues.

Chapter 7: Anatomy of the Oral Cavity

* Summary: The anatomical structures of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, palate, and floor of the mouth.
* Real Example: A diagram of the oral cavity, showing the location and relationships of these structures.

Chapter 8: Anatomy of the Temporomandibular Joint

* Summary: The structure and function of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the mandible to the skull.
* Real Example: An X-ray image of the temporomandibular joint, showing the bony components and joint space.

Chapter 9: Craniofacial Development

* Summary: The embryological development of the craniofacial region, from the formation of the neural tube to the development of the facial features.
* Real Example: A series of ultrasound images showing the progressive development of the fetal face.

Chapter 10: Clinical Applications

* Summary: The clinical applications of dental embryology and histology, including the diagnosis and treatment of dental anomalies and the evaluation of periodontal health.
* Real Example: A clinical case study of a child with an impacted tooth, which requires surgical intervention.
