Oral Pathology

Catalog description

Credits 2.5. 2.5 Lecture Hours. A didactic lecture oriented course. The lecture portion of the course, although, clinically oriented is designed to provide a base of knowledge about pathologic processes and specific disease entities. Diseases unique to the oral regions as well as oral manifestations of systemic disease will be covered. The Clinical Pathologic Conference (CPC) attempts to assimilate that information and apply it to relevant clinical situations in a case-based PDL format. Cases which illustrate a variety of clinical signs and symptoms will be presented with clinical histories. Students will be given the opportunity to develop a differential diagnosis and discuss the implications of this relevant to the patient’s treatment.
