Course Description
This course teaches the types and functions of oral microorganisms. Student learns oral ecology and functions of oral microorganisms, describes defense mechanisms of the body and mouth, associates it with human immunity, explains microorganism to microorganism, microorganism to host relationships and relates their roles in the normal flora of the body and oral ecology, defines the roles of microorganisms in oral infections, makes microbiological diagnosis of oral agents and learns about antimicrobials in treatment approaches, learns the types of microorganisms in dental diseases and understands their roles in the etiopathogenesis of diseases, and explains the role of microorganisms in the formation of dental plaque, the role of microorganisms in the formation of dental calculus, the microbiology of dental caries and their roles in pathogenesis.
