Content
Embryology deals with the study of human development from fertilization to the end of the first three gestational weeks followed by the topics believed to be more directly useful to the dental students. Cervicocephalic anatomy involves the description of bones, joints, vessels, oral cavity, salivary glands, pharynx, nasal cavities, larynx and of the mechanisms implicated in the modifications of craniofacial morphology throughout life. For each topic: introduction by a selected clinical example, specific approach of the topic by analysis of anatomic preparations and medical imaging integrated in PowerPoint documents, thereafter, classic teaching procedure (drawings on the blackboard) and finally, if appropriate, feedback to clinical cases. During the practical, the teamwork allows to memorize easier and to progress in understanding and of subject specific knowledge.
