Introduction
Advanced Oral Medical-Surgical Pathology II is part of the clinical axis of the dental curriculum and aims to deepen knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial tissues from a comprehensive medical-surgical perspective.
Throughout the course, students consolidate the competencies acquired in previous oral pathology courses, integrating theory with advanced clinical practice. Special emphasis is placed on complex pathological processes of infectious, inflammatory, immunological, neoplastic, and traumatic origin, as well as the oral manifestations of systemic diseases.
The course fosters diagnostic skills, clinical reasoning, and evidence-based therapeutic decision-making. It also promotes the appropriate use of diagnostic resources such as histopathology, radiology, and complementary tests, combined with an ethical and humanistic attitude toward the patient.
In its surgical component, the course develops practical skills in planning and performing advanced oral procedures, managing complications, and engaging in interdisciplinary collaboration with other medical and dental specialties.
In this way, Advanced Oral Medical-Surgical Pathology II makes an essential contribution to the education of future dentists, preparing them for professional practice that is competent, safe, and committed to the patient’s overall health
