COLUM IA X C ' ORAL PATHOLOGY HENRY A. BARTELS, B.S., D.D.S. Instructor LESTER I. CAHN, D.D.S. Assistant Professor of Dentistry A FTER having completed their training in the fundamental medical sciences, the students are given a thorough course in oral pathology in their third year. This course enables them to rationally apply their accumulated knowledge to the comprehensive practice of dentistry. It is the aim of the instructors to demonstrate grossly and microscopically all lesions which may confront the dentist in general practice. This makes it possible for the correct diagnosis and correct treatment of these lesions. Students are introduced to the study of the pathological, first by means of lectures delivered by Dr. L. Cahn. These are correlated by laboratory work which immediately follows each lecture. Laboratory work and recitations are conducted by the Drs. Bartel and Berke. In the laboratory each student is assigned a box of slides containing mounted sections of the various types of pathology to be studied. Topo- graphical drawings of these slides are required in order to more firmly and accurately fix them in the minds of the students. DENTAL EVIEW T tnty-thrtf

COLUMBIA ORAL DIAGNOSIS I T is now recognized that many physical ills are due to dental and periodontial disease and that many of these ills manifest their first symptoms in the mouth. The dentist is now held responsible for recognizing these conditions and dealing adequately with them. Therefore, modern dentistry is acknowl- edging the value and the need for proper diagnosis. Oral diagnosis signifies a thorough understanding of the normal and abnormal conditions of the mouth. This, of course, implies an understanding of abnormal systemic conditions -which may be the cause of pathological changes in or about the mouth. It is the endeavor of the members of the staff of this department to impress upon students the necessity for correct diagnosis as a most important feature of modern oral health science. With their basic training of the normal and abnormal pathology fresh in their minds, students are here given the oppor- tunity of applying this knowledge to practical cases. Diagnosis ever will play a part important in the practice of dentistry for no treatment will be efficacious ■without a correct and scientific diagnosis. Lectures in the course are conducted by Dr. J. Leonard after which the students are assigned to the diagnosis department headed by Dr. D. Ziskin. Here each student is given practical experience in diagnosing oral conditions and the finding and charting of cavities. HAROLD J. LEONARD, A.B., D.D.S. DANIEL E. ZISKIN, D.D.S.
