DLA 2220 Oral Pathology

The field of oral pathology will be studied, familiarizing the student with oral diseases, their causes (if known), and their effects on the body. A dental assistant does not diagnose oral pathological diseases, but may alert the dentist to abnormal conditions of the mouth. This course will ensure a basic understanding of recognizing abnormal conditions (anomalies), how to prevent disease transmission, how the identified pathological condition may interfere with planned treatment, and what effect the condition will have on the overall health of the patient.
