Medical Degree Program in China - Oral Histopathology
1. Introduction
Oral Histopathology includes two parts: the oral histology and embryology and oral pathology. Oral histology and embryology mainly represents structure and morphological features of different oral tissues and the development process of oral and maxillofacial; oral pathology represents the pathogeny, pathogenesis, pathological changes and clinical features of common diseases in oral and maxillofacial. Understand the regularity of occurrence and development of oral disease and prognosis, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of clinical oral diseases.
