INTRODUCTION
The course is placed in 2nd year
semester III of BS-DCP that is a combined course for both Dental Hygiene and
Dental Technology programs. This course will introduce the concepts of injury
and departures from normal structure and function in the human body, as occurs
in disease. The various pathological processes and their importance on the
basis of human disease will be studied. Correlation with the clinical presentation
will also be made, with particular reference to cardiovascular, respiratory
and gastrointestinal disorders.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. Understand and relate the general principles, terminology and modes of spread of disease.
2. Correlate basic disease states studied at a cellular and gross anatomical level with the overt clinical signs and symptoms seen in those disorders.
3. Understand the general principles of the pathological process
Identify factors in the environment that contribute to the pathology development- Teacher: Madiha Shabbir

INTRODUCTION;
The
placement of this subject is in 2nd year, semester-III of BS-DCP
both (Dental Technologist and Hygienist). The purpose of this course is to gain
enhance knowledge and understanding about structures within the oral cavity,
including the tongue, salivary glands, lips and cheeks and teeth (both
permanent and primary) Laboratory emphasis will be placed on tooth
identification and tooth/root morphology to enhance the application of
instrumentation techniques.
COURSE OBJECTIVES;
By the end of the course, the students of dental hygiene and dental technologist will be able to:
1. To understand the concept of oral structure
2. Development of the oral tissues: their interrelationships
3. To identify the nomenclature of teeth.
4. Chronology of the deciduous dentition along with anatomy of individual teeth.
5. Chronology of the permanent dentition along with anatomy of individual teeth
6. Identify deciduous and permanent teeth by their proper name, function and location.
7. Able to write the dental formula for deciduous and permanent dentition.
8. Identify the surfaces of the teeth.
9. Identify the grooves, ridges, pits and fossae of the teeth.
10. Demonstrate practical application of the three numbering systems-Universal, Palmer Notation, and International.
11. Identify physiologic considerations of function and occlusion.
12. Define and identify within the oral cavity various features related to the oral cavity and tooth morphology.
13. List the eruption dates for both primary and permanent teeth.
14. List distinguishing features of individual teeth.
15. Match the name of the major salivary gland with the correct duct opening and intraoral location.
16. List the locations of minor salivary glands.
17. Correctly identify soft tissue landmarks of the oral cavity, lips and face.
18. Identify factors associated with root morphology and their relationship to clinical practice.
19. Identify the characteristics of primary teeth that distinguish them from permanent teethASSESSMENT/GRADING POLICY;
Following is the detail of assessment criteria in the course, e.g. assignments, quizzes during the online teaching sessions, end-of-course exam, etc. and their weightage. It also contains how the students will be graded for different components of assessment, assessment methods that will be used during the course, e.g. Essay writing, MCQs, Short questions, etc.Formative Assessment on LMS must be graded and be assigned 60% weightage of the Summative Assessment, whereas 40% may be assigned to the Final Examination conducted on LMS in the form of BCQs based Theory and online Viva based examination.In order to provide flexibility to the students, they may be given options of two attempts to finish graded quizzes. However, mid-term and class test must be taken as single attempt
Theory based final examination questions (to assess knowledge) will be prepared and peer reviewed by two at least examiners (internal and external). Structured Viva of final examination (to assess attitude) will be conducted by two examiners (Internal & External).

This course is introduced in the second year of BS DCP as a core course in semester III. The purpose of this course is to gain knowledge & understanding about the role of Dental Materials in dental technology and dental hygiene that involves the manipulation, uses & applications of different dental materials, composition & properties of dental materials & the manner in which they interact with the environment they are placed. Science of dental materials is a basic science which deals with the physical, mechanical & biological properties of Dental Materials. The study of science of dental materials gives basic knowledge about the materials used in dental practice.
