The course should provide students with basic knowledge and understanding of the basic materials science and scientific principles pertaining proper manipulation & properties of commonly used dental materials & laboratory equipments used in their handling. Basic knowledge on chemical and physical concepts. Knowledge of the behavior of biomaterials within the mouth. Insight into different sorts of dental materials which could be useful for dental treatments. For every one of those materials, chemical and physical reactions in processing, the most important material-technical indications, procedure of use and indications have to be known. Special emphasis will be placed on the bio materials currently (recently) used in a dental practice. With rapid development in technology, the practicing dentist must have a working knowledge of the fundamental properties of these materials to meet the challenges of modern dentistry. Knowledge of the techniques required to control the materials properties in order to communicate more effectively with dental laboratory technicians.

• Oral diagnosis course aims to teach the student how to obtain and record a comprehensive history, perform an appropriate physical examination, interpret the findings and organize appropriate further investigations pending their referral to the appropriate department(s) for a comprehensive treatment. Various manifestations of facial pain of both dental and non-dental origin, its diagnosis and management are also considered. Formulate and rationalize a preliminary treatment planning for their patients together with handling of medically compromised patients.• Oral medicine bridges the gap between the medical and dental professions. The oral medicine undergraduate course teaches the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of the common diseases of the oral mucosa includes the salivary glands and the oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Teaching also considered the prevention, diagnosis and management of potentially malignant and malignant lesions and conditions of the oral mucosa.• Oral Radiology is an integral part of oral diagnosis and oral medicine course. This part of the course is designed to provide all the information pertinent to x-rays production, intra-oral radiography and extra-oral radiography of orofacial structures, processing of an x-ray films, radiation hazards and means of protection. The course also covers the radiographic interpretation of different views which includes normal landmarks as well as pathological conditions affecting the teeth, periodontium and oral tissue in order to provide better service to the patients. The course covers also advanced imaging techniques such as CT scans, MRI and digital radiography.
