diagnostic methods that contribute to a fi nal diagnosis (clinical, radiographic, historical,
laboratory, surgical, therapeutic, and differential); 2) evaluation of red and white lesions
from etiology to prognosis; 3) strength of the diagnosis for each lesion based on one or
more diagnostic methods; 4) use of clinical and radiographic features during assessment;
5) documentation procedures, biopsy techniques and referral options; 6) the
latest evidence on products and procedures for oral cancer detection and diagnosis;
and, 7) differential diagnosis of the oral cavity to include the lips, tongue, fl oor of the
mouth, buccal mucosa, palate and gingiva. You will see descriptions and examples of
normal followed by clinical examples of variations of normal, reactive lesions, infectious
diseases, chromosomal abnormalities, immunologic conditions, and malignancies in
each area. Emphasis will be placed on the diagnostic features that contribute the most
to the fi nal diagnosis. Additionally, teaching your patients how to perform an intra-oral
self exam will be discussed hoping to reduce the morbidity rate of this serious disease.
