ORAL & MAXILLO FACIAL PATHOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY
| Sl.no. | Course outcomes | Knowledge levels(K1-K6) |
| CO1 |
Describe the manifestations of dental diseases (developmental, odontogenic cysts & tumors, salivary gland pathology, etc), systemic diseases having oral manifestations, (e.g.- lichen planus) their investigations (biopsy, blood tests), diagnosis, and correlation with the clinicopathologic process. |
K2 |
| CO2 |
Explain the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of pre-cancerous (eg-leukoplakia) and cancerous lesions (e.g.- squamous cell carcinoma) of the oral and para-oral structures, including their clinical manifestations and histopathologic features. |
K2 |
| CO3 |
Distinguish between the various microorganisms (bacterial, viral and fungal microorganisms) that cause oral diseases, and explain the mechanisms by which they cause disease. |
K4 |
| CO4 |
Demonstrate how to identify and diagnose histopathological slides under a microscope and differentiate between normal and abnormal tissues(e.g., normal gingival tissue, abnormal dysplastic tissue) |
K3 |
| CO5 |
Discuss the basic principles of forensic odontology(age estimation, bite mark analysis, dental record examination) and their applications in legal contexts. |
K2 |
| CO6 |
Discuss about the various biopsies (incisional, excisional, punch biopsy, etc.), indications for biopsy and biopsy techniques. |
K2 |
DENTAL ANATOMY, EMBRYOLOGY AND ORAL HISTOLOGY
| Sl.no. | Course outcomes | Knowledge levels(K1-K6) |
| CO1 | Explain the normal development, morphology, structure, and functions of oral tissues (e.g.- gingiva, oral mucosa, salivary glands, oral mucosa) and the clinical implications of variations from the normal. (e.g.- cleft lip and palate, abnormal tooth eruption) | K2 |
| CO2 | Distinguish between deciduous and permanent teeth according to the morphology, development and eruption,and summarize the variations that may occur. (e.g.-hypodontia, supernumerary teeth) | K4 |
| CO3 | Demonstrate the histology of the normal oral structures (e.g.- enamel, oral mucosa) under a microscope and also demonstrate how to carve the morphology of the permanent teeth for the clinical skill development. | K3 |
| CO4 | Discuss dental embryology (e.g., formation of dental tissues, stages of tooth development) and basic oral physiology, including their fundamental concepts and their application in dental practice. | K2 |
| CO5 | Describe the basic principles of occlusion mentioning the dental occlusal relationships (e.g., Angle’s classification), different compensatory curves, and occlusal disorders (e.g., bruxism, temporomandibular disorders). | K2 |
| CO6 | Discuss the various steps of tissue processing, the reagents used and the different staining techniques. | K2 |
