Course Description This course is practical, and is continuous with Dent 423. Students will apply and develop clinical skills by interacting with patients who visit the Oral Diagnosis clinic at JUST's Dental Teaching Center. Small groups of students will elicit history of chief complaint, obtain medical and dental history, perform extra and intraoral examinations, order and interpret intraoral radiographs, interpret and discuss abnormal findings, establish diagnoses and formulate treatment plans. Students should document and discuss their findings and treatment plan including referral to other disciplines with the instructor and afterwards advise patients kindly and respectfully as to their final treatment plan.
