This course is implementing “case based” and “team based” learning, in addition to the traditional lectures. It helps to understand the biology, diagnostics, wound healing and management of dental pulp and related tissues in pathological conditions other than caries i.e. dental trauma, periodontal disease and resorption.
Development, microscopic and submicroscopic structure, functional aspects of hard and soft oral tissues. Embryonic development of head and neck; morphodifferentiation of face and oral structures. Structure-function relationships in descriptions of development and histology-ultrastructure of oral tissues by integration of traditional oral histology and oral physiology topics.
Applies students' background knowledge in basic sciences to an understanding of specific microbiology of various niches in oral cavity, formation and metabolic activity of dental plaque, and etiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and clinical characteristics of dental diseases. Principles involved in prevention of cross-contamination and diagnosis of clinical infections.
Bacterial structure, physiology and genetics. Viral structure and function. Bacterial and viral diseases of the respiratory tract, skin, GI tract, UG tract. Innate and adaptive immunity. Immune responses to infection, immunodeficiencies and autoimmunity.
Seminar stressing basic science aspects and clinical findings of various oral lesions through exploration of etiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and treatment modalities for oral pathology cases drawn from files of the Division of Oral Pathology.
Diseases of the oral cavity and jaw are presented as the practioner encounters them through the use of detailed clinical pictures, laboratory tests, radiographic findings, and surgical exploration. Emphasis is placed on the development of a differential diagnosis prior to the establishment of a working diagnosis. Established therapeutic procedures are discussed.
Laboratory course consisting of a series of 1-2 day experiments emphasizing the concepts and approaches of molecular biology and recombinant DNA technology. Topics include: restriction enzymes and DNA mapping, plasmid manipulation and DNA cloning, PCR, Southern blot and nucleic acid hybridization, western immunoblotting of proteins, DNA sequencing, introduction to Bioinformatics and henomic databases, and RA isolation.
Theory, techniques for rendering moderate sedation. Pharmacology, pharmacokinetics of common sedative agents, their usual applications, special considerations. Emphasis on airway management, IV cathether placement, proper record keeping, prevention and management of emergencies, legal issues.
This course will focus on general factors important to understanding pain and additional pain disorders, other than those directly involving the dental structures.
This is a clinical course series for the third year dental student that includes history-taking and physical examination, radiology, diagnosis and emergency dental care.

Welcome to the LABORATORY section of DENT 521 & 522. This site is designed to be used for the Friday session of these two courses. The laboratory sessions are designed to expand and supplement the lecture material.
On Fridays, three clinical cases will be presented. Each case will be discussed to include:
Significant clinical features
Applied differential diagnosis
Management and treatment
The students will participate by identifying significant features in each case, ask questions, develop differential diagnosis and enter into discussion.
This course teaches the pharmacologic techniques for managing acute orofacial pain and dental anxiety. It is designed to fulfill Part I of the American Dental Association's "Guidelines for Teaching the Comprehensive Control of Anxiety and Pain Control in Dentistry" (October 2003).
Another name for this course would be clinical oral pathology. This is a course that would train you to know exactly what to do with each of the diseases that you are going to encounter in your career as a dentist or a specialist in dentistry.
This course focuses on only one aspect of a given disease and that is "what to do with it". We will cover approximately fifty conditions all in one format and that is to identify a clinical plan for each given oral pathology scenario. You as a student/dentist would look at a lesion and in your mind decide whether it is benign or malignant, to biopsy or not, where to biopsy if you decide on biopsy, who to refer the patient to and what your responsibility would be after you have referred your patient.
Designed for graduate students in dentistry and in dental related disciplines to introduce the fundamentals of immunology and immunopathology. Course consists of lectures/seminars/discussions by members of the Dental School. Overall objective is to help students pass specialty board exams; understand the role of immunologic processes in oral health and disease; evaluate the developments in immunology that have application to dental therapies; function as members of integrated health care teams.
RESD 511 consists of a weekly orientation lecture and laboratory session with the aim of providing first-year dental students with practical instruction in the proper use of restorative dental materials used at the University of Washington School of Dentistry. Attention will also be given to student self-evaluation of their performance with the various laboratory projects.
This course serves as introduction to the area of restorative dentistry dealing with indirect complete coverage restorations. The discipline of fixed prosthodontics is introduced with lectures and reading references related to the topics of terminology, principles of tooth preparation, clinical procedures relevant to this preclinical course and laboratory technology.
