CLASSICAL LITERATURE SEMINAR #21

 

DATE: 01  MARCH 2007

 

TOPIC: Inflammation / Immunology #3

 

CHAIRPERSON: LT HORAN

 

SEMINAR OBJECTIVE: Each resident should understand the inflammatory and immune reactions in order to understand the response of the pulpal and periradicular tissues to injury.

 

MAIN POINTS: At the conclusion of the seminar, each resident should:

 

MP #1 -detail chronic inflammatory processes.

 

MP #2 -describe the process of wound healing.

 

MP #3 -relate the role that the inflammatory/immunologic response plays in endodontic flare-ups.

 

MP #4 -describe the effects that endotoxin has on the periradicular tissues.

 

MP #5 -relate the role prostaglandins, leukotrienes and cytokines play in the inflammatory/immunologic response.

 

MP #6 -explain the inflammatory/immunologic mechanisms of bone resorption.

 

MP #7 -describe the similarities and differences between acute and chronic inflammation.

 

MP #8 -explain how healing relates to the inflammatory/immunologic response.

 

MP #9 -describe the hypersensitivity reactions.
