Course Objective

Major microorganisms in the oral flora in dentistry and their relationship with the host, factors affecting the oral flora, defense mechanisms of the mouth, microbial dental plaque formation, microbiology of dental plaque and dental caries, endodontic microbiology, microbiology of periodontal diseases, diseases and pathogenesis mechanisms of important microorganisms in dentistry, antimicrobials, to provide them knowledge about applicable antimicrobial therapy and resistance. It is aimed that the students have knowledge about the management of microbiological samples related to the detection of microorganisms that cause oral infections.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Classification of bacteria, fungi and viruses that cause local or systemic infections in humans.
2   Awareness of microorganisms that make up the normal body flora
3   To distinguish the infectious diseases caused by microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi)
4   To explain how pathogens cause disese: pathogenesis of microorganisms
5   To understand the mechanisms of action and resistance of antimicrobial drugs
6   Sample collection from the patient in infectious diseases caused by microorganisms and explain the principles of transport for diagnostic tests
7   To explain the immune system responses against microorganisms, to identify the cells that play a role in the immune system
8   To understand active and passive immunity
9   Maxillofacial flora (skin, oral mucosa, nose, sinus mucosa), the differences in clinical practice :Understanding the relationship between oral flora and health and various diseases
10   To interpret the clinical meaning of the changes in the flora after immunosuppression, radiotherapy, gingivitis, periodontitis and various resective operations.
11   To have information about the effects and results of fungal infections in the oral mucosa on the clinical outcome.
12   To have knowledge of viral infections, clinical symptoms and consequences in oral mucosa and peri-oral tissues
