“Clinical Cases in Pediatric Oral Pathology”
Course summary: Pediatric patients exhibit unique pathologic conditions that may be present at birth or related to the specific stage of development of the child. Awareness and appropriate workup of these conditions is paramount for the dental practitioner who treats children. We will review specific pathologic entities which preferentially occur in children with an emphasis on clinical practice.
Course objectives:
1. Case based review of complex pediatric oral and radiographic pathologic conditions
2. Discuss the takeaway point for each case to be applied to dental clinical practice
3. Review up to date testing modalities for disease diagnosis wherever appropriate
