Annotation
Pathophysiology represents a logical approach to each disease in terms of its causes and development, therefore it is a necessary basis for clinical subjects. In this subject, the student more integrates already acquired knowledge than memorizes new ones.
For Dentistry students, pathophysiology is taught to a limited extent, focusing on the problems of patients in this medical field. The second, shorter block of pathological physiology for these students is focused on etiological and pathogenetic aspects of conditions affecting the kidneys, nervous system and selected aspects of nutritional disorders.
Basic information on endocrinological diseases and diabetes mellitus with an emphasis on the effects in the oral cavity is also given. Examination of urine sediment and oral glucose tolerance test serve as a demonstration of laboratory techniques and to demonstrate some pathologies.
