Aims

At the end of the course, the students will be able
- to understand the elementary lesions which constitute the basis of the development of the most important pathologies
- to understand the histopathology of the most frequently encountered oral and cutaneous lesions
- to link together pathogeny, clinical expression and complications of the above-mentionned diseases.

Main themes

Demonstration of the morphological aspects of the most frequently encountered oral and cutaneous lesions.

Content and teaching methods

Content:
General part : basic lesions applicable to oral and cutaneous pathology : necrosis, adaptation mecanisms, inflammation, immunity, deficiency and hypersensitivity, growth disorders and neoplasia, non-tumoral osteo-articular pathology.
Oral and cutaneous histopathology : study of macroscopy and microscopy of the most important pathologies : lesions of the oral mucosa and skin, dental lesions and odontogenic pathology, pathology of the parodontis

Methods:
Lectures with powerpoint support, followed by the analysis of microscopic slides illustrating the studied lesions

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Needed notions : general histology, oral histology, head and neck anatomy and embryology
Evaluation : to be determined by the teacher
Support : hand-out, histological slides
