This inspired us to write such a text that is also student-oriented, instructor- friendly, and includes online supplementary materials. General and Oral Pathology for Dental Hygiene Practice is a direct result of our combined passion for dental hygiene education, dentistry, and oral pathology. Our goal is to use educational tools that promote critical thinking and transfer learning outcomes to clinical dental hygiene practice. Approach First, we understand that not everyone who teaches pathology in the dental hygiene curriculum has advanced training in general and oral pathology.
These instructor resources not only enhance student learning but also promote instructor confidence in the material. Second, our colleagues in dental hygiene education report that currently available texts often do not provide a sufficient depth of background knowledge important for understanding and assessing pathology.
For instance, oral lesions associated with systemic conditions are described, but essential discussion of the underlying disease mechanism may be sparse or missing. Additionally, etiologies and risk factors for diseases are not consistently emphasized.
To address this issue, we begin each chapter with concise foundational and basic principles of pathology related to disorders or lesions presented in the chapter. It is a comprehensive study book of the general concepts of pathophysiology as they relate to systemic and oral conditions. The only dental hygiene book on the market to address both oral and general pathology, General and Oral Pathology for the Dental Hygienist is the ideal solution for programs that cover oral and general pathology in one course, and provides an easily accessible review of general pathology for programs that cover oral pathology separately.
This allows the student to easily identify what he or she might be looking at and to differentiate between lesions with similar appearances.
