The aim of the Oral Medicine II course is to teach students to recognise changes in the oral mucosa,
distinguish morphological variations from pathological lesions, identify basic diagnoses, and assess
indications for referral to specialists.
Students learn how to independently identify oral lesions and manage patients with such conditions,
including those undergoing evaluation prior to transplantation or head and neck radiotherapy.
The purpose of the course is to train future dentists in the early detection of oral lesions suggestive
of malignant or chronic diseases of the skin and mucous membranes that require further evaluation
and follow-up.
