C. Course Description:
The Oral Biology & Histology I course in dentistry covers the development, microscopic
and sub-microscopic structure and functional aspects of hard dental of the oral cavity. It
also covers the Embryonic development of head and neck; morpho-differentiation of
face and oral structures; and relationships between development and structure, and
function in the histology and ultrastructure of oral tissues. The course thus serves as a
preparatory course for Oral pathology, Oral medicine, Orthodontics and Periodontics in
the following years. The Oral Biology course will consolidate and augment information
for the following year of study. The basic-bridging knowledge in this course will assist
students in building up learning strategies, approaching and understanding clinical
courses, and add to the student’s ability to clinically evaluate a patient, thus preparing
the student for the courses in clinical sciences.

C. Course Description:
The Oral Biology & Histology course II in dentistry covers the development, microscopic
and sub-microscopic structure and functional aspects of hard and soft oral tissues of the
oral cavity. It also relationships between development, structure, and function in the
histology and ultrastructure of oral and paraoral tissues. The course thus serves as a
preparatory course for Oral pathology, Oral medicine,Orthodontics and Periodontics in
the following years. The Oral Biology course will consolidate and augment information
for the following year of study. The basic-bridging knowledge in this course will assist
students in building up learning strategies, approaching and understanding clinical
courses, and add to the student’s ability to clinically evaluate a patient, thus preparing
the student for the courses in clinical sciences.

C. Course description
The use of x-rays is an essential part of clinical dentistry. As a result, radiographs are often
referred to as the clinician main diagnostic aid. Dental Radiology is a branch of dentistry dealing
with the complete examination of the oral cavity needs both clinical and radiographic
investigations, therefore this course of dental radiology offers the way of examining the hidden
parts of teeth and their supporting structures. The range of knowledge of dental radiography
and radiology required can be divided conveniently into four main sections: Basic physics and
equipment, Radiography techniques, Radiation protection, Radiological interpretation. This
course is considered as an introductory course that includes lectures, demonstrations and
practical applications on the previously given lectures. It is consisted of a series of weekly
lectures and practical covered in the fifth Semester of third year.

C. Course description
While dentistry mostly deals with a patient’s individual requirements, community dentistry
or dental public health targets the community as a whole. The Community Dentistry course
seeks to develop an understanding of the basic concepts of dental public health, including
the broader social and environmental determinants of health; primary health care;
organization of dental health services; oral health promotion and disease prevention; oral
health needs assessment; and planning, implementation, and evaluation of communitybased dental programs. A brief introduction to professional ethics is provided; further, the
currently accepted standards of conduct and behavior for members of the dental profession
and the legal system and its role and application to the practice of dentistry are discussed.
The course material is presented from the perspective of the community with local and
international examples. The goal is to equip dental health professionals with skills such that
they can appropriately deal with the ever-changing trends in dentistry; analyze and solve
environmental, social, and economic issues related to oral health; and practice and develop
oral health promotion and prevention strategies at the individual and community levels.
The course consists of didactic lectures, case presentations, and discussion sessions.

Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is the dental speciality and discipline of pathology that
deals with the nature, identification and management of wide variety of diseases
affecting the Oral and Maxillofacial regions. The diagnosis and treatment of these
diseases comprise an essential part of the practice of dentistry.
The objective of this course is to provide the comprehensive information needed to
identify and manage oral abnormalities, diseases/conditions in the clinical practice in
which the students will be involved after graduation.
The course provides a complete understanding of the pathologic causes, pathogenesis,
processes, effects and prognosis of these diseases.
The course enhances diagnostic skills through the use of clinical, radiographic,
microscopic, biochemical or other examinations and the development of differential
diagnosis for similar diseases.
C. Course description
This course is offered during the 6th semester of the third year and the 7th semester of
the fourth year and has four credit hours. The course combines lecture presentations with
practical, including microscopic laboratory sessions and clinicopathologic conferences (CPC)
arranged in such way that the practical and the CPC sessions are correlated with the subject
topics covered in the didactic lectures. Students involved in this course are expected to integrate
and correlate knowledge concerning clinical, radiographical and microscopic features; utilising
them in obtaining the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial diseases.

C. Course description
As part of the lecture series in community dentistry, this course introduces students to the
basic principles and methods of biostatistics and epidemiology. The first part of the course
deals with core applied statistical concepts and methods. It introduces students to the
fundamental paradigms underlying statistical methodology; the display and communication
of statistical data; the basics of frequentist methods such as hypothesis testing and
confidence intervals; and analysis and interpretation for single group summaries, such as
means, medians, variances, and rates. The second part of the course introduces the students
to the key methods utilized in classical and clinical epidemiology, including risk estimation
and causal inferences, and the various design strategies used in clinical epidemiologic
research, for instance, case-control and cohort studies, ecological studies and populationbased surveys, randomized controlled trials, and meta-analysis techniques used in the
development of clinical practice guidelines. It covers the broad determinants of health;
measures of disease frequency and association; epidemiology of oral diseases (e.g., dental
caries, periodontal diseases, oral cancer); screening of oral conditions; properties of
diagnostic tests, including sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios, predictive values, and
receiver operator characteristic curves; and measurement of patient-reported outcomes.
The course consists of didactic lectures, case presentations, and discussion sessions.

Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is the dental speciality and discipline of pathology that
deals with the nature, identification and management of wide variety of diseases
affecting the Oral and Maxillofacial regions. The diagnosis and treatment of these
diseases comprise an essential part of the practice of dentistry.
The objective of this course is to provide the comprehensive information needed to
identify and manage oral diseases/conditions in the clinical practice in which the
students will be involved after graduation.
The course provides a complete understanding of the pathologic causes, pathogenesis,
processes, effects and prognosis of these diseases.
The course enhances diagnostic skills through the use of clinical, radiographic,
microscopic, biochemical or other examinations and the development of differential
diagnosis for similar diseases.
Course description
This course is offered during the 6th semester of the third year and the 7th semester of the
fourth year and has four credit hours. The course combines lecture presentations with practical,
including microscopic laboratory sessions and clinicopathologic conferences (CPC) arranged in
such way that the practical and the CPC sessions are correlated with the subject topics covered
in the didactic lectures. Students involved in this course are expected to integrate and correlate
knowledge concerning clinical, radiographical and microscopic features; utilising them in
obtaining the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial diseases.

central incisors.
C. Course description
The course is given to 4th year (8th semester) students as one lecture and one pre-clinical
practical session. The theoretical part covers topics which include pulp pathology,
endodontic microbiology, vital pulp therapy, case selection and treatment planning,
diagnosis and diagnostic procedures. The pre-clinical lab/practical component focuses
on performing endodontic procedures on molars and retreatment of the already
obturated maxillary central incisors. This prepares the students to perform basic
endodontic procedures prior to entering the clinics in the fifth year. The course is given
as one lecture and one pre-clinical session per week, equivalent to 2 credit hours and 4
contact hours.

C. Course description:
The program in fifth year commences in-depth education in periodontics, building on
the conceptual foundations established in the fourth year programs. In fifth year the
principal objective of the full program in periodontics is to educate and prepare general
practitioners of dentistry to serve the universal public need of prevention, recognition
and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. The program
integrates didactic, preclinical and clinical elements aiming to achieve detailed understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and approaches to therapy for the more
common types of periodontal conditions. The didactic element centres on periodontal
surgery, fundamentals of clinical decision-making, and treatment of inflammation. The
clinical element centres on the control of inflammatory periodontal conditions by
Course Specifications | 9th Semester | Periodontics III | Page - 246
Jazan University | College of Dentistry | BDS-Curriculum
concentrating on examination, patient motivation, oral hygiene, and scaling and root
planning skills. The clinical element is concerned with the application of knowledge
gained in the didactic study of Periodontics, and it is directly related to the previous
material presented in the seventh and eight semester’s clinic. In the ninth semester the
student will also be able to discuss the rationale behind surgical periodontal procedures
by assisting during surgeries. The knowledge that will be acquired in the surgical course
Periodontics III will help the student with this endeavour.

The program in fifth year commences in-depth education in Periodontics, building on
the conceptual foundations established in the fourth year programs. In fifth year the
principal objective of the full program in Periodontics is to educate and prepare general
practitioners of dentistry to serve the universal public need of prevention, recognition
and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. The program
integrates didactic, preclinical and clinical elements aiming to achieve detailed understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and approaches to therapy for the more
common types of periodontal conditions. The didactic element centres on recent
Course Specifications | 10th Semester | Periodontics IV | Page - 290
Jazan University | College of Dentistry | BDS-Curriculum
advances in Periodontology, periodontal medicine, dental implants esthetics and
maintenance, occlusion and maintenance and supportive therapy and fundamentals of
clinical decision-making. Special emphasis will be placed on evaluation of periodontal
treatment as well as the maintenance phase and the relationship between Periodontics
and other disciplines in dentistry. The clinical element centres on the control of
inflammatory periodontal conditions by concentrating on examination, patient
motivation, oral hygiene, and scaling and root planning skills and surgical approaches.
The main objective of this semester is to present a more detailed program on diagnosis,
rationale, and delivery of periodontal therapy for a wide range of periodontal
conditions, building on the basic knowledge and instrumentation skills learned in the
previous semesters.

C. Course description
Evidence-based dentistry is based on the method of evidence-based health care, which can
be explained as the "conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of the best available evidence
in making optimal clinical decisions that meet individual patient needs." The EvidenceBased Dentistry and Research Methodology course is one of the most recently introduced
courses in the dental curriculum. It addresses the principles of observational and
experimental clinical epidemiological research as well as health economic and decision
analytic modelling studies. It emphasizes the qualitative issues in the conception, design,
conduct, and analysis of different research modalities used in clinical epidemiology. The
sources, assessment, and control of error, confounding, and bias for different research
designs are discussed. Students gain an understanding of systematic reviews and metaanalysis, the criteria for evidence classification, and the use of scientific evidence in
developing clinical practice guidelines and health and regulatory policies. The course helps
develop the basic skills necessary to interpret scientific literature. It helps prepare students
to structure and pose a clinical question, search for the best available evidence, critically
appraise the information obtained, and apply relevant information to patient care. It also
elaborates on the options to be taken when the evidence is equivocal and/or controversial.
Teaching strategies include interactive discussion sessions, case presentations, and
problem-based learning exercises.

B. Objectives
By the end of the course the students should:
 Thoroughly diagnose conditions of the oral cavity and its related structures, using
proper diagnostic tools.
 Build a comprehensive treatment plan for the prevention and treatment of oral
condition.
 Provide treatment to each patient so that the oral health is restored to a healthy and

C. Course description
Students at the final year (sixth) are introduced to the multidisciplinary clinical program
after they have finished all the basic laboratory and clinical courses in dentistry. The
clinical Comprehensive Care Clinics (CCC) introduces the student to multidisciplinary
treatment planning and the concept of appropriately phased patient care. Students
participate in the evaluation, planning and management of the comprehensive
treatment needs for their assigned adult patients. The concept of such a comprehensive
program, as the name suggests, is the total patient care experience from initial patient
presentation to treatment completion, and is thus implemented and emphasised in this
course. Comprehensive Care Clinics educate students in the assessment, diagnosis and
sequencing of patient care through comprehensive treatment planning sessions
designed to ensure case understanding, rational treatment decisions and an appropriate
treatment plan. This course is designed to increase the student’s skills in all
disciplines. Patient care is carried out under the supervision and teaching of clinical
instructors and staff members from each discipline are responsible for articulating the
treatment philosophies of their various specialties and coordinating these philosophies
with the concept of comprehensive dentistry.

C. Course description
This advanced course is the last of the three courses. This course aims mainly at the
application of all the diagnostic procedures taught in the Pre-Clinical Orthodontics and Clinical
Orthodontics - I courses. This course consists of lectures, problem-based tutorial sessions and a
clinical component. Familiarization with the procedure used by orthodontists in the correction
of severe malocclusion enables students to select those patients requiring referral. Limitations
of orthodontic treatment alone and coordination of a multi-disciplinary team in treatment of
complicated cases are discussed. Emphasis is given to diagnosis of difficult cases and the
training of dental/medical consultation and referral system.


Students will be participating in problem-based tutorial sessions to analyze the orthodontic
cases chosen to cover the following topics:
Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning of Class I, II and III malocclusion.
Orthodontic treatment of patients with medical disorders.
Early orthodontic treatment.
Management of dentofacial skeletal problems (A-P / Vertical / Transverse).
Assessment of patients for orthognathic surgery and growth modification.
This method of learning involves an active participation of the students in their learning
through generating hypotheses to explain the problems under discussion, contributing
resources and knowledge to the group, and demonstrating the ability to understand and apply
the available evidence to analyze the case.
The clinical component emphasizes diagnosis and treatment planning for different types
of malocclusion besides carrying out treatment procedures on patients in the orthodontic clinic.
Each student is required to treat a simple case usually treated by the general dentist during the
course. The students are then required to present their treated cases with pre- and posttreatment records to their fellow colleagues and the orthodontic faculty. The course consists of:
