"The Basics" would immensely improve your understanding of Oral Pathology and Medicine
It is a prerequisite to have an awareness/knowledge of the basics of General Pathology/Histology/Oral Histology, in order to better comprehend the pathology of oral diseases. The basics would immensely improve your understanding of Oral Pathology and Medicine.
Learning and understanding “the basics” could be overwhelming. We learn them in the beginning of our Under-Graduation and by the time we are into learning significant Specialties in Dentistry, our “basics” are long forgotten.
Honestly, my understanding of basics was all “hotchpotch”! I really wish I had resources that would have made my life easy during those days. I tell you from experience, the basics (General Pathology/Histology/Oral Histology) would go a long way in making you competent in Oral Pathology/Oral Medicine.
💡I say this because I have seen so many students without a sound understanding of basics, struggling to understand concepts in Oral Pathology. I know these subjects can be very difficult to comprehend. I get it. That’s why I try to make stuff lighthearted, so they are easier to understand :)
I have created a quite a few number of videos and revision notes in General Pathology and Oral Histology. In fact a many of these videos are available on HackDentistry’s YouTube channel.
