This course is designed to review oral lesions and dental therapeutics that oral care providers commonly encounter in a community practice. This seminar will reinforce the chair-side techniques for head and neck and intra-oral examinations. Techniques for written and photo documentation of oral lesions will also be discussed. The visual presentation and hands-on demonstrations of adjunctive evaluation tools will definitely make these topics interesting and educational. Topics include common benign oral lesions, the uncommon but need-to-know lesions, and microbial infections.
Speakers
After this course attendees will be able to:
- Develop a consistent, high-standard methodology for conducting thorough extra-oral and intra-oral soft tissue screenings

- Formulate immediate management plans for suspicious oral entities requiring urgent intervention or "red flag" status
- Establish rigorous record-keeping habits that protect both the patient's health history and the practitioner’s clinical reputation
- Explore the collaborative potential of Artificial Intelligence (Vision AI) to increase diagnostic accuracy and efficiency
