Primary Aims. To provide the student with: • understanding of the disease process including etiology, pathogenesis, morphology and the basic surgical pathomorphology diagnostic process • understanding of the interactive process by which a pathologist acts as a consultant to the clinician Main Objectives • general pathomorphology • cellular injury and cellular death, growth, differentiation and adaptation abnormalities, some aspects of genetic and immunological diseases • circulation disorders • inflammation and repair (especially of the mouth,oropharynx, bones and salivary glands) pathology of some infectious diseases • environmental and nutritional diseases • basic pediatric pathomorphology • neoplasia (general aspects, morphological diagnosis, cytopathology, fine needle biopsy, most common cancers - especially of the mouth, oropharynx, bones and salivary gland) • systemic pathomorphology: • some aspects of blood vessels and heart diseases, respiratory system diseases, blood cells and lymphoid tissue diseases, gastroentheropathology including liver and pancreas diseases, • kidney and lower urinary tract diseases, male and female genital systems and the breast pathology, endocrine pathology, neuropathology, skin diseases, soft tissue and skeletal system pathology • head and neck pathomorphology Hours in the Curriculum Total – 105 (45 hours of lectures and 60 hours of practical activities) Method of Learning/Teaching The course consists of several closely integrated elements as follows: • lectures and histopathology lab and seminars are integrated and cover the same problem each week • autopsy material varies depending on the material available Assessment Methods Short quizes (three) should help in student self-assessment. The final exam is oral. Strengths It is a very good and well programmed course. The course shows the students how pathology connects basic sciences with clinical practice and how the pathologist acts as a consultant to the clinician in dealing with difficult diagnostic problems.
Primary Aims. Primary aims for basic biology learning are that the students should appreciate biological processes which contribute to oral health and understand the development of disease as well as gaining the ability to design prevention, diagnostic and treatment strategies based upon scientific biological principles.
Primary Aims. Primary aims for the education in medicine are that the graduate should be able to take the patients general health into consideration in contemporary oral health practice and demonstrate an awareness of the interactions between general and oral health.
Primary Aims. The main philosophy of the clinical course is the comprehensive patient care. It is important to understand and recognise the continuous somatical and mental development for the young individual. Since the faculty is responsible for the total dental care in one school district the students are in a natural way trained to meet, diagnose and treat individuals who have different levels of treatment needs and demands.
Primary Aims. An important aim with the clinical courses is the learning in the context of clinical situations relevant for the oral health situation of the population in question (the Swedish population) and contemporary clinical dentistry. The ultimate aim is to give the students opportunity to develop the competence to prevent, diagnose and treat oral diseases prevalent in Sweden.
Primary Aims. The main aims are that after completion of this course the student should be able to: - understand and present different prosthodontic options available for the rehabilitation of the edentulous as well as the partially dentate patients. - present well supported different prosthetic treatment concepts –both removable alternatives and fixed measures – to maintain and restore good oral health, oral functions, and patient satisfaction during the treatment as well as after treatment completion.
Primary Aims. To present an information on oral cavity lesions associated with skin diseases, their aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis, treatment and prophylactics To present information on STD including AIDS and associated lesions in oral cavity mucous.
Primary Aims. The objective of the Paediatric Dentistry course is to learn the etiological, pathogenesis, diagnostic ant treatment principles of a child patient. Essential child management skills are developed during the course. Growth and developmental changes are discussed, and the main treatment methods during the dentition change are studied. As the courses of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry are integrated an important part of the course is application of the preventive measures for paediatric patients.
Primary Aims. To introduce the students with the theoretical and practical background for treatment of dental caries; To develop clinical and practical skills necessary to competently undertake dental treatment.
Primary Aims. To teach the students the theoretical background of caries etiopathogenesis and rationale for it’s prevention and treatment; To develop clinical competence in diagnosis, treatment planning and management of common dental diseases.
