DENH 235 - Oral Pathology;2 credits

Institution:

Brookdale Community College

Subject:

Description:

As a member of the oral health team it is important for the dental hygienist to recognize pathological conditions in patients so that appropriate precautions and/or treatment may be rendered. This includes both systemic and oral conditions. Pathology is the study of abnormalities in morphology and function and may include any deviation from normal. Since abnormalities begin at the cellular level, this course also begins with cellular alterations and response. The majority of the course is devoted to oral pathology, with emphasis placed on those lesions most frequently encountered. For each lesion discussed, the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical and microscopic signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, treatment, followup and prognosis are presented. Limited discussion will be devoted to general pathology as it relates to oral lesions and manifestations. (Prerequisites: ADEC 111, BIOL 213, DENH 120, DENH 123 and DENH 124)
