Oral Microbiology examines the microorganisms of the oral cavity and the ecological 
and host factors that determine oral health, dysbiosis, and disease. The course 
integrates microbial diversity, colonization and adhesion, dental-biofilm 
development, salivary and immune defences, dental caries, periodontal and 
endodontic infections, oral fungal and viral infections, and relationships between the 
oral microbiome and systemic health. It also introduces antimicrobial stewardship, 
sterilization, disinfection, biosafety, and emerging approaches such as 
metagenomics. Lectures, discussions, clinical cases, and an evidence-appraisal 
assignment connect foundational microbiological knowledge to disease prevention, 
clinical reasoning, and safe dental practice.
