DENT 115 Principles of Diseases 6

Course Outline:

This course includes the basic principles of disease and relevant histopathology. Considerable emphasis is given to understanding mechanisms underlying alterations at the cell and subcellular levels. The parameter of cell injury, inflammation, immunopathology, repair and regeneration, carcinogenesis, hemodynamic disturbances, and nutritional diseases are studied. Correlations of systemic diseases of importance in dentistry are emphasized. This course will provide the student with a working understanding of pharmacology and pharmacotherapeutics as applied to dental practice.

Course Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, student should be able to:
1. Recognize the cell injury, inflammation, healing and repair and the circulatory disturbances.
2. Describe the carcinogenesis, the mode of neoplastic mechanisms and growth and nutritional disorders.
3. State the basic microbiology regarding the mechanisms of bacterial and viral pathogenesis and body defense as an anatomical barrier.
4. State the relationship between the basic physiology and hematology with laboratory investigations.
5. Recognize components of immune system, various types of immunities and immune reactions.
6. Describe the biochemical basis of DNA damage and repair, regulation of cell cycle, genetic diseases and cancer.
7. Outline the basic pharmacology in particular drug-drug interactions.
8. Outline effectively as an individual and a part of a team to communicate information and ideas in the principles of disease by using electronic technical tools.
