OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe the process of common oral diseases.
Objectives:
- Explain the following terms: pathology, disease, etiology, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and prognosis.
- Summarize the categories of disease.
- Compare terminology describing the course of a disease.
- Apply appropriate terminology to describe the clinical and/or radiographic findings associated with pathological conditions affecting the oral region.
Outcome 2: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to assess soft tissue structures and landmarks of the oral cavity.
Objectives:
- Compare normal and abnormal appearances of soft tissue structures and landmarks.
- Compare normal and abnormal appearances of soft tissue structures and landmarks of the periodontium.
- Compare normal and abnormal appearances of the bony structures and landmarks of the maxilla and mandible.
Outcome 3: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to compare the underlying tissue responses involved in diseases to their clinical manifestations.
Objectives:
- Compare the following host responses to injury: developmental anomalies, atrophy, degeneration, necrosis, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, neoplasia, circulatory disturbances, and inflammation.
- Compare the vascular and cellular responses in acute inflammation to the cardinal signs and to the formation of the inflammatory exudate.
- Distinguish between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation.
- Compare regeneration and repair.
- Distinguish between immunopathologic mechanisms for hypersensitivity reactions, immunodeficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.
- Discuss theoretical and clinical aspects of neoplasia and the clinical classification of neoplastic diseases.
Outcome 4: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to assess common oral pathological conditions.
Objectives:
- Explain pathologic conditions affecting the teeth.
- Explain the etiology, clinical features, and treatment of developmental anomalies affecting oral and para-oral structures.
- Compare the common cysts, odontogenic tumors, and nonneoplastic conditions of bone.
- Compare the common oral lesions.
