Course Description

The practice of dentistry is an application of art and science. In everyday practice, the dental practitioner reviews many cases of suspected pathology, and while some case presentations are very common, others are not common. This course is a refresher course of fairly common oral pathology conditions. A very strong background in clinical dental practice is assumed for this course. The course is most suitable for dentists and dental hygienists who want a good review with clinical case presentations and radiographs to support the text. However, the course would be a useful summary and review for all members of the dental team who want to familiarize themselves with an overview oral pathology in clinical practice. This course is ADA CERP approved for 4 hours of continuing education credit, and fulfills credit hours toward license renewal. Individuals must check with their state licensing boards for exact requirements for dental license renewal.
