In the second half of this course, there is continued discussion on common entities in oral pathology. Similar entities will be presented side by side, with differences shown to emphasize how to tell them apart. Discussion will include how to recognize precancerous lesions, malignancies, and immune mediated diseases, as well as when to treat, how to treat, and when to refer. The session also includes common radiographic findings with comparisons and interesting cases, going more in depth regarding common pathoses and treatment options.
Upon completion of this session, attendees should be able to:
• Confidently perform a head and neck/oral cancer screening exam.
• Differentiate benign lesions from precancerous and malignant lesions.
• Recognize key features that will help tell similar appearing conditions apart.
