DENT 227 التقنية المعملية في علم أمراض الوجه والفكين - Laboratory Techniques in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2

Course Outline:

This elective course will focus on the basic as well as the advanced laboratory techniques in the field of oral & maxillofacial pathology. Some techniques (Laser, Implants & Anutoradiography) will encourage students, dentists and oral surgeons to conduct research on human as well as on experimental animal models, and to use computer programs to analyze the microscopic findings in diagnosis and research. In addition, this course will shed a light on the methods of protection against infection, physical, chemical, biological and irradiation hazards in the dental clinics and the laboratory.

Course Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, student should be able to:
1. Understand the biological alterations at the cellular and tissue level from the starting of obtaining the surgical biopsy / smear from the patient.
2. Preserve the biopsy / oral cytological smears in special chemicals
3. Conventional preparation of soft tissue, teeth ,bone and smears for light microscopic examination.
4. Histochemical preparation of soft tissue, bone and smears for cryostat and paraffin sections.
5. Immunohistochemical preparation of sections by using specific markers (tumor markers) for both electron microscope (Transmission & Scanning) and light microscope.
6. Autoradiographic technique for studying and monitoring the isotopes in soft/ hard tissues for the purpose of diagnosis & research.
7. Correlate the clinical and the microscopic data in order to establish an accurate diagnosis.
8. Careful handling of the oral lesions for fear of infection and contamination from hazard materials at the clinics.
