Pathology introduces dental hygiene students to concepts of disease, especially as related to the oral cavity. An introductory general survey of inflammation, infection and other general pathology is followed by a more detailed study of specific oral pathology. Areas of particular concern to dental hygiene students are stressed. Clinical applications are made by correlating the lecture materials with clinical cases by means of slide presentation and film. Open only to matriculated Dental Hygiene students.
