Welcome to our in-depth course on Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP), a specialised training designed for dental professionals aiming to deepen their expertise in managing this rare autoimmune disorder.
MMP is characterised by chronic blistering and sores, primarily affecting the oral cavity and other mucous membranes. Its recognition and management in dental settings are very important, given the oral manifestations of the disease.
This comprehensive course offers an extensive overview of MMP, from its pathophysiology and clinical presentation to diagnostic approaches and management strategies. We look at the implications of MMP in dental care, emphasising the importance of early detection, appropriate referral, and collaborative care with medical professionals.
The course also addresses the challenges in treating MMP, including patient comfort and pain management, and the impact of the condition on oral health and quality of life.
Through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical insights, our course equips dental professionals with the skills to identify and manage MMP effectively, enhancing their capacity to provide empathetic and informed care to patients with this complex condition. By completing this course, participants will not only expand their clinical acumen but also contribute to better patient outcomes in dental practice.
If you're not yet a member of Dentaljuce, we highly recommend you to join and gain access to our comprehensive course on population-based dental health and care.
This course, along with over 100 other CPD courses, is available for a single membership payment.
Your Professional Development Plan: Regulatory authorities recommend that CPD/CE is undertaken based on learning needs that you have identified and entered into your PDP. Some authorities may not accept your CPD as verifiable unless it has been identified in the PDP before you undertake it.
Here is an example, using the GDC's recommended format, for a PDP entry for this course.

Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid
This online learning course has clear and concise aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes, listed below. These will appear on the Dentaljuce Enhanced CPD Certificate, along with the time spent, dates, and detailed topics you studied within the module. Certificates can be printed at any time, covering any range of dates. Dentaljuce CPD complies with the UK GDC's requirements for enhanced verifiable continuing professional development.
Aim:
The aim of the learning and teaching materials in this Dentaljuce course is to provide dental professionals with a comprehensive understanding of Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid, its diagnosis, management, and treatment options in order to enhance patient care and outcomes.
Objective:
To equip dental professionals with the knowledge to identify the signs, symptoms, and underlying pathophysiology of MMP in a clinical setting.
To train dental professionals in the appropriate diagnostic techniques, management strategies, and treatment options for patients with MMP.
Anticipated learning outcomes:
The learner will:
be able to describe the definition, classification, and prevalence of MMP, as well as its position within the broader spectrum of pemphigoid diseases.
understand the autoimmune reaction, basement membrane involvement, and the role of autoantibodies (IgG) and complement (C3) in the pathophysiology of MMP.
be able to recognise and differentiate the oral and extraoral manifestations of MMP, including desquamative gingivitis and other mucous membrane involvement.
be proficient in the diagnostic techniques for MMP, including the significance of Nikolsky's sign, auto-antibody testing, immunofluorescent analysis, and differential diagnosis.
be capable of implementing appropriate management strategies for MMP in dental practice, including conservative measures, pharmacological interventions, and surgical treatments, while recognising and managing potential complications.
through achieving these outcomes, provide an improved level of service to their patients.
