The aim of this module is to introduce the principles underlying the study of oral cavity lining tissue pathologies; to provide the knowledge necessary to understand the various clinical conditions; to equip students with the skills to apply the following knowledge in daily clinical practice.

Having passed all the propaedeutics courses

Lectures; participation in internships; reading articles.

The course is part of the Integrated Course in Principles of Pathology of the oral cavity

Written exam with three open questions. Each paper, upon request, is discussed with each student

Elements of anatomy and histology of the oral cavity. Lining tissues: lining mucosa, specialized mucosa, masticatory mucosa. Tongue.
