Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Students, Educator, Nurse, Doctor

Description:

Potentially serious medical conditions can manifest with oral lesions readily detected by clinical examination. Dentists are, therefore, in a vital position to recognize concerning lesions and make timely and appropriate referrals. Dentists must be sufficiently familiar with a wide range of conditions that can present in the oral cavity, even those uncommon and rarely encountered in the general population. This talk provides an in-depth overview of the most important non-odontogenic conditions a dentist can’t miss.

 Learn to:

• be able to obtain a basic medical history and work-up for a patient who presents with non-odontogenic oral disease
• recognize the clinical spectrum of diseases that can manifest in the oral cavity
• understand the basic principles of management and know how and where to refer a patient for specialty care

AGD Number: 730 - Oral Medicine, Oral Diag
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Students, Educator, Nurse, Doctor

Description:

Dentists are experts in diagnosing and managing diseases of the teeth and periodontium; however, most have less confidence when it comes to “non- dental” oral diseases. Yet dentists are responsible for providing comprehensive oral health care and must be familiar with the full spectrum of conditions that can affect the oral cavity. The audience will actively participate in this classroom-style case-based review of common and less common oral medicine conditions, working through clinical descriptions, differential diagnosis, and management considerations.

 Learn to:

• obtain a history and conduct a thorough examination and assessment
• generate a differential diagnosis that is logical and structured
• provide basic management of common conditions and recognize indications for referral

Description:

A tissue biopsy, along with histopathological interpretation, is often essential for establishing a definitive diagnosis of oral diseases and determining appropriate treatment. This hands-on workshop will explore clinical scenarios where an oral biopsy is indicated, review various biopsy techniques, and provide practical guidance for different case presentations. Participants will learn to perform common oral biopsy procedures and practice basic suturing techniques for post-operative care. Emphasis will be placed on clinical decision-making, technique selection, and ensuring optimal specimen quality.

Learn to

• recognize clinical indications for performing an oral biopsy
• understand different biopsy techniques and how to choose the appropriate approach
• perform an oral biopsy and manage post-biopsy care effectively
