OPT 1120 - Oral Pathology
As a healthcare provider, the dentist specializes in the oral and para-oral region and must be familiarized with the normal and pathological processes seen in the oral cavity, as well as the surrounding maxillofacial structures. Therefore, weekly lectures and group discussions of assigned subjects, clinical, and microscopic documentation of oral disease are presented and analyzed. It includes oral manifestations of systemic diseases in the following categories: 1) disturbances in development and growth; 2) diseases of microbial origin; 3) neoplastic processes; 4) immunologic, metabolic, and environmental disturbances; and 5) tissue-specific diseases, such as epithelium, bones and joints, blood and blood-forming organs, odontogenic, skin, nerves, and muscles.
