DOH232 Dental Pathophysiology (12)
Abstract| Students will gain a foundation level understanding of the biochemical, cellular and tissue responses that can arise as a consequence of injury to cells, tissues and body organ systems. This understanding will be developed in the context of the aetiology and pathogenesis of the basic pathological processes including the degenerations, inflammation and sequelae, immunological reactivity, hypertrophy and hyperplasia, healing and neoplasia. This subject will also provide students with detailed knowledge and diagnostic capability in relation to specific pathology associated with teeth in their embryonic and posteruptive environments. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
# be able to use the language of pathology appropriately;
# be able to demonstrate an understanding of the nature of injury and the nature of host-injury interactions that lead to the clinical expression of disease;
# be able to recognise and explain the key features of core pathological and defence processes including the degenerations and atrophy, inflammation, immunopathological reactions and hyper-reactions, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, healing and neoplasia;
# be able to describe and identify the clinical and pathological features of developmental tooth disorders;
# be able to describe and identify the pathological and basic clinical-radiographic features of dental caries and inflammatory periodontal disease;
# be able to describe the causes of injury to the pulp-dentine complex;
# be able identify the clinico-pathological features of the responses of the pulp-dentine complex to injury including inflammatory periapical pathology;
# be able to demonstrate and understanding of the phenomenon of tooth resorption including its clinical contexts, radiographic features and histopathological features;
# be able describe and identify the pathological and clinical-radiographic features of odontogenic jaw cysts and have a basic understanding of their diagnosis and management;
# be able to demonstrate an understanding of the pathology and clinical-radiographic features of the odontogenic tumours and a basic understanding of their diagnosis and management. |
