Dermatological Conditions: Dental Implications

Welcome to our course on the dental implications of Dermatological Conditions. These conditions are significant for dental professionals as they often have oral manifestations that require specialised knowledge for effective management and treatment.

This course covers the recognition, diagnosis, and management of common dermatological conditions that impact oral health, such as Lichen Planus, Pemphigus Vulgaris, Bullous Pemphigoid, and Psoriasis.

This course is specifically designed for dentists, dental professionals, and students who wish to deepen their understanding of dermatological conditions and improve patient care.

The course focuses on enhancing diagnostic skills, modifying dental treatment plans, and implementing patient education strategies for effective oral health management.

We look into the pathophysiology and clinical presentations of key dermatological conditions, oral health implications like ulcerations and blistering, and collaboration techniques with other healthcare providers for comprehensive care.

By the end of this course, you will be able to describe the pathophysiology and clinical presentations of several dermatological conditions, recognise oral health implications, assess and modify treatment plans, educate patients effectively, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals for integrated care.

If you're not yet a member of Dentaljuce, we highly recommend you to join and gain access to this comprehensive course.

This course, along with over 100 other CPD courses, is available for a single membership payment.
