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.
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.
