DIASCI 5212 - ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL PATHOLOGY

Minimum Credits: 4
Maximum Credits: 4
The practice of dentistry requires the ability to distinguish normal oral anatomy from oral abnormalities, and to determine implications for treatment. Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is aimed at the recognition of the etiologic, clinical, radiographic, microscopic features of abnormalities, and disease processes unique to the oral perioral structures, as well as those which reflect systemic disease. Where appropriate, treatment of oral diseases will be addressed. The course integrates material learned in the basic science curriculum, including embryology, biochemistry, histology, cell biology, and physiology, and applies it to the diseased state (pathology). Where appropriate, treatment of oral diseases will be addressed. By the end of the course, you will be able to distinguish normal oral anatomy from oral abnormalities, and to determine implications for treatment, which is essential to the practice of dentistry. This course includes lectures, class discussions, and case-based learning activities.
