Module Aims and Outcomes
Aim
The aim of the learning and teaching materials in this Dentaljuce course is to provide dental professionals with a comprehensive understanding of Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid, its diagnosis, management, and treatment options in order to enhance patient care and outcomes.
Course objective
- To equip dental professionals with the knowledge to identify the signs, symptoms, and underlying pathophysiology of MMP in a clinical setting.
- To train dental professionals in the appropriate diagnostic techniques, management strategies, and treatment options for patients with MMP.
Anticipated learning outcomes:
The learner will:- be able to describe the definition, classification, and prevalence of MMP, as well as its position within the broader spectrum of pemphigoid diseases.
- understand the autoimmune reaction, basement membrane involvement, and the role of autoantibodies (IgG) and complement (C3) in the pathophysiology of MMP.
- be able to recognize and differentiate the oral and extraoral manifestations of MMP, including desquamative gingivitis and other mucous membrane involvement.
- be proficient in the diagnostic techniques for MMP, including the significance of Nikolsky's sign, auto-antibody testing, immunofluorescent analysis, and differential diagnosis.
- be capable of implementing appropriate management strategies for MMP in dental practice, including conservative measures, pharmacological interventions, and surgical treatments, while recognizing and managing potential complications.
- through achieving these outcomes, provide an improved level of service to their patients.
GDC Development Outcomes
This CPD will support the learner in meeting the following GDC Development Outcome(s): C.
