7DDS Annual Meeting

Registration & Breakfast 7:30 am • Lunch 12:00 pm • Lecture 8:30 am – 4:30 pm  7MCE credits

Course Description:
A fresh take on the detection, diagnosis, and management of both common and significant oral and maxillofacial pathology conditions. We will begin with the standard patient examination and review the medico-legal importance of recording exam findings. Focus areas will include: 1) oral lumps and bumps, 2) salivary gland hypofunction and burning mouth, 3) common and significant skin lesions 4) oral cancer and pre-cancerous lesions and the role of HPV, and 5) commercially-available adjuncts for the detection of oral cancer. Clinical cases and an interactive format will help reinforce the differential diagnostic process as we review the current understanding of disease development and treatment options.

Learning Objectives:
1) To describe the features of a conventional oral, head and neck examination, including its visual and tactile components; to review the physical characteristics of oral lesions that complete the patient record; and to understand the importance of patient follow-up examination
2) To review the clinical characteristics of reactive and neoplastic soft tissue proliferations of the oral cavity and understand the importance of tissue biopsy
3) To describe the clinical features used to distinguish salivary hypofunction and burning mouth syndrome, potential diagnostic measures and treatment options for affected patients
4) To understand clinical setting and features associated with common and significant skin lesions of the head and neck region
5) To review current concepts of oral precancerous and cancerous lesions, including epidemiology, clinical features and commercially-available adjuncts for the detection of oral cancer
6) To describe the distinction between oral and oropharyngeal (tonsillar) cancer, including incidence trends and risk factors, with emphasis on the role of HPV and the potential impact of HPV vaccination
