The aim of this course is to provide students with knowledge of the etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches of systemic diseases affecting dental practice and oral mucosal diseases. The course also aims to enable students to plan safe dental treatment for medically compromised patients and to recognize oral mucosal lesions and develop appropriate clinical management strategies.
This course covers bleeding and coagulation disorders, blood products and transfusion, anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases including heart failure, hypertension and coronary artery disease, endocrine disorders, rheumatic diseases, chronic kidney disease, respiratory diseases (COPD, asthma, tuberculosis), head, neck and joint disorders, basic exercise principles, community health indicators, epidemiology, allergic diseases, pediatric immunology and genetic disorders, as well as the structure of the oral mucosa, oral mucosal diseases, infectious diseases of the oral mucosa, cheilitis, gingivitis, benign diseases of the tongue, oral ulcers, leukoplakia, and oral mucosal tumors. Special emphasis is placed on the implications of systemic diseases for dental practice and appropriate patient management.
| 1. | Explain the major systemic diseases affecting dental practice and their impact on oral health. |
| 2. | Develop appropriate dental treatment plans and identify necessary treatment modifications for medically compromised patients. |
| 3. | Distinguish the normal structure of the oral mucosa and the clinical features of common oral mucosal diseases. |
| 4. | Identify infectious, inflammatory, benign, and potentially malignant oral mucosal lesions, perform differential diagnosis, and describe appropriate referral pathways. |
| 5. | Apply evidence-based clinical decision-making principles for the management of systemic and oral diseases while ensuring patient safety. |
