The purpose of this course is giving information about cells, mechanisms and anomalies related to tooth formation, tooth application and root resorption.

Topics will be discussed such as embryological development of teeth and jaws, enamel, dentine and cementum formation, function of ameloblasts, dentinogenesis and dentine mineralization, pulp and development of periodontal ligament. Theories about tooth eruption, the resulting changes in tooth eruption in dental alveolus, deciduous and permanent teeth eruption, eruption disorders, deciduous and permanent teeth eruption time, early and late eruption causes, root resorption mechanisms, resorption anomalies will be discussed.
