Oral Anatomy Exam Practice Tests
Course Introduction
Oral Anatomy is a foundational course that explores the structure, function, and development of the oral and craniofacial regions. Students will examine the anatomy of the teeth, oral cavity, jaws, and associated structures, gaining an understanding of dental morphology, occlusion, and the relationships between oral and systemic health. Through lectures, lab sessions, and clinical correlations, the course provides essential knowledge for dental practice and serves as a basis for advanced studies in oral health sciences.
