This is a weekly seminar course that reviews the pathology of oral soft and hard tissues, to prepare graduate students in various Dental Specialty Programs for specialty practice. Students are expected to participate in discussions of the pathology underlying broad categories of disease, for example, infections, developmental defects, reactive hyperplasia, benign and malignant tumors, and to use this understanding to develop rational schemes for differential diagnosis and treatment. Students will also learn about recent advances in oral and surgical pathology, including their potential application to diagnosis and patient management.
