Knows the general characteristics of parasites and parasitic factors that are important in dentistry and relate the related parasitic infections and pathogenesis.
Explain microorganism-microorganism, microorganism-host relationships, relate the body's normal flora and their roles in oral ecology, make microbiological diagnosis of oral agents and learn antimicrobials in treatment approaches.
Learns the immune system cells, types, structures of antigen, antibody and immune complexes and explains the functions and activations of the immune response.
Knows defense mechanisms of the body and oral defenses, associates the principles of vaccines and prophylaxis with human immunity, Learns autoimmunity and autoimmune reactions and associates with autoimmune diseases and knows microbiological, serological and immunological diagnostic methods for this
Explain dental plaque formation, the role of microorganisms in calculus and dental caries formation, their role in pathogenesis, properties of dental and periodontal infectious agents and immune defense patterns. Knows the principles, sources and epidemiology of infectious diseases, clinical and la
