The course on oral diagnosis includes the basic principles of patient interview, the fundamentals of physical examination, recognition of oral disease. Principles of Biomedicine, an interdisciplinary course is taught in conjunction with the Department of Oral Pathology, it introduces the student to oral diagnosis though didactic presentations concerning patient interview, clinical examination and treatment plans.
The course of periodontology deals with fundamentals of periodontal problems. The clinical phenomena of periodontal disease in terms of underlying tissue changes and the nature of periodontal response.
The clinical course is supplementary to the first term where the students are allowed to record patient history and perform a comprehensive physical examination. In addition interpretation of various laboratory test results and relation between physical status of the patient and dental plan are considered.
The course comprises two hours lectures and two hours clinical session weekly, to diagnose and integrate the biological aspect of the disease into the clinical setting.
The clinical course deals with the diagnosis of patients with clinical conundrum and treatment of the oral lesion even in patients with a therapeutically challenging disease. Chair side case and slide presentation are scheduled for students in order to discuss the appropriate approach for each patient.

The clinical phenomena of periodontal disease in terms of underlying tissue changes and the biological nature of periodontal response are discussed. Once this aspect is mastered the students are introduced to the diagnostic criteria of periodontal disease and possible prognostic factors, which may judge the outcome of treatment. Non-surgical approach for management of periodontal disease and the wide array of pharmacological therapeutic modalities are included in the course.
