HOW DOES THIS COURSE RELATES TO OTHER COURSES? |
Dental students must take an oral pathology course because it gives them a thorough understanding of the numerous illnesses and ailments that impact the oral and maxillofacial areas. This information is necessary for identifying and addressing problems with oral health. By completing courses in oral medicine, radiography, and clinical dentistry, it complements other dental courses and helps students make judgments about patient care. The integration of oral pathology into these courses improves a dentist's capacity to offer thorough and efficient treatments. |
|
COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES What information you want to deliver to the students)
|
• An oral pathology course typically focuses on the study of diseases and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of various oral diseases, their etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches. • By the end of the course, students should be able to identify and classify oral diseases, interpret pathological findings, and apply their knowledge to clinical practice. • This knowledge is crucial for dental professionals to diagnose and manage oral health issues effectively.
|
|
TEACHING & LEARNING STRATEGIES (What means you use to deliver information to the students) |
• Interactive Lectures: Instead of traditional one-way lectures, integrate interactive elements. Use polls, quizzes, and discussions during lectures to keep students engaged and gauge their understanding in real-time. • Case-Based Learning: Presenting clinical cases that involve oral pathology issues can help students connect theoretical knowledge with practical situations. Analyzing cases fosters critical thinking, diagnostic skills, and decision-making abilities • Assessment Variety: Use diverse assessment methods like quizzes, exams, presentations, case reports, and portfolios. This ensures that students' understanding is evaluated from multiple angles and encourages them to engage with the material in different ways. |
|
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA (What means you use to evaluate students’ achievement, percentage and timing) |
• Quizzes 5% Not less than 7/semester- • Midterm Exam 30%- • Final Exam 50% • presentations and assignments 15% |
|
COURSE CONTENT (Brief description of the material to be taught and learned throughout the semester) |
• Introduction to oral pathology, diagnosis and medical history. • teeth anomalies. • Odontogenic and non-odontogenic Cysts of the jaws and neck • TMJ and Inflammatory jaw lesions • white lesions • pigmented and red lesions • ulcerative lesions • Vessiculo- bullous lesions • Infectious lesions • Neoplastic lesions • Odontogenic and non-odontogenic tumors. |
|
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs): (What do expect students to achieve at the end of the semester) Use VERBS ONLY |
• Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: • Define and describe the etiologic, clinical features and histopathology of major diseases of the oral mucosa submucosa and osseous lesions. • Recognize the clinical features and the underlying organ pathology of major systemic disease that express in the oral cavity. • Differentiate between benign and malignant processes in the oral cavity based on histopathological and clinical features. • Develop differential diagnosis of oral conditions based on clinical presentation and histopathological findings.
