Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Observation, Demonstration, Projection (static, dynamic), Laboratory Work
Learning outcomes
To gain a basic overview of the most common mouth infections - pathogens, epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. To become familiar with the tools in the pathogenic effect of microbes and defence mechanisms in humans. To get an overview of indications and options for collecting clinical samples for microbiological examination. To acquire general knowledge of other microbes and infections, sample analyses and identification of etiological agents, including the time requirements. To be capable of interpreting microbiological results.
The students will be able to implement the acquired knowledge and skills both in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to patients and in scientific and research activities.
