DIASCI 5244 - ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL PATHOLOGY AND RADIOLOGY 2

Minimum Credits: 2
Maximum Credits: 2
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 and Radiology are 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. Selection criteria for prescribing radiographs and advanced imaging modalities are incorporated to prescribe the right imaging and to be able to diagnose on all appropriate methods of dental related imaging. 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. This course is a continuation of DIASCI 5214, Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Radiology 1.
