The course reinforces and builds upon the foundation of pathology learned and retained from dental school. Pathology lecture topics include salivary pathology, developmental disturbances of oral and paraoral structures, benign and malignant non-odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity, odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts, odontogenic tumors, alterations of the teeth, infections and infectious-like conditions of the oral regions, physical and chemical injuries of the oral cavity, oral aspects of metabolic disease, bone and joint disease, blood and blood-forming organ disease, skin and mucocutaneous diseases. The course objectives rest with the student’s ability to recognize normal versus abnormal oral conditions in the context of significant, common, and unique forms of pathology.
