DIASCI 5345 - SEMINARS IN ORAL PATHOLOGY AND ORAL MEDICINE

Minimum Credits: 1.5
Maximum Credits: 1.5
The purpose of this course is for the student to develop diagnostic and management skills as they pertain to oral and maxillofacial pathology, to a level of competence deemed appropriate for general dental practice. The course builds on the basic knowledge acquired previously in General and Systemic Pathology (DIASCI 5170) and Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Radiology (DIASCI 5214 and 5244). This course focuses on the recognition, description, diagnosis, and management of clinical and radiographic entities that may be encountered by the general dentist in private practice. Age-, race-, sex-, and/or gender-based differences in the prevalence, clinical presentation, pathophysiology, treatment approaches, and prognosis of various lesions and/or conditions will be highlighted when appropriate. Relevant histologic findings may also be discussed. The course format is primarily case-based, to serve as an appropriate substitute for a clinical rotation in oral pathology/oral medicine. Student attendance and participation are required as this will help the student develop the skills necessary to effectively and appropriately describe, diagnose and discuss 2 various pathologic lesions and conditions. Such skills are also deemed necessary for good record keeping and for effective communication with peers, other professionals, and patients.
