Features of teaching the variable discipline «Pathogenetic bases of dental diseases» at the faculty of dentistry at the department of pathophysiology

Abstract

Purpose of the work: to demonstrate the features of teaching the academic discipline “Pathogenetic bases of dental diseases” at the Faculty of Dentistry at the Department of Pathophysiology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education South Ural State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia using a pathophysiological experiment and the use of modern educational technologies. The goal of the variable discipline “Pathogenetic basis of dental diseases” in the specialty is the formation and consolidation of students’ ideas about the causes and conditions of the occurrence and spread of dental diseases. To ensure clarity and increase the effectiveness of the educational process, employees of the Department of Pathophysiology of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education South Ural State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia use modern educational technologies and pathophysiological experiments in lectures and practical classes for students at the Faculty of Dentistry. Conclusion. The development and application of the work program of the variable discipline “Pathogenetic basis of dental diseases” allows us to deepen and consolidate knowledge of pathophysiology. The use of modern educational technologies, such as multimedia presentations, interactive whiteboards, and pathophysiological experiments, makes it possible to clearly demonstrate manifestations in the oral cavity in various diseases. This increases the visibility of the discipline and allows students, during subsequent study of clinical disciplines, to apply the acquired knowledge on etiology and pathogenesis for the correct diagnosis of diseases, preventive measures and treatment.
