Clinical Diagnosis of Oral Lesions
Traditionally oral pathology has been taught in dental schools by presenting
either clinical or histologic images and asking the student to recall their names.
In clinical practice alterations in the oral soft and hard tissues rarely resemble
the images from either dental school classes or oral pathology textbooks.
The objective of this presentation is to guide the participants to develop an
approach for the differential diagnosis of lesions of the soft tissues of the
oral cavity through evaluation of key features of the lesions and reference to
the anatomy/histology of the intraoral site. This approach builds on strengths
resulting from the clinical care of patients to provide a more comprehensive
strategy to develop a differential diagnosis.
