OVERVIEW
The course is designed to review the more common oral mucosal disorders
seen in general practice; including infections of the oral cavity,
noninfectious forms of stomatitis, aphthous ulcers, oral cancer and
precancerous lesions. This presentation will also focus on therapeutic
management. The final session will review these disorders based on
their common clinical manifestations; i.e. red, white and pigmented
lesions, ulcers and tumors. Reviewing the common oral mucosal conditions
seen in practice in a differential diagnosis format should provide
a practical approach to the recognition, diagnosis and management of
these problems.
