Course Objective

To teach detailed anatomy of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone; the concepts of periodontal pocket, attachment and dental plaque formation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1. Student describes the structure of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone, and tells their functions and tells the differences between healthy and diseased periodontal tissues
2   2. Student describes the composition of the saliva, tells its functions, describes xerostomia, and tells the reasons of xerostomia.
3   3 Student defines dental plaque, explains its importance, lists the types, the formation steps, and the factors playing role in formation.
4   4 Student explains the composition of dental calculus, tells types and steps of formation, and explains the theories od formation.
5   5. Explains the periodontal pocket and its attachment and knows how to measure it.
