Though Dentistry is primarily a surgical specialty, practitioners commonly
encounter conditions in which medical management can positively impact
patient quality of life.
The first half of the course will use a series of clinical cases to review practical
considerations in the diagnosis and non-surgical management of oral mucosal lesions,
oral burning disorders, TMD with limited opening, and medication-related
osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Objectives (Part 1):
 Identify clinical situations in which non-surgical interventions, such as
pharmacotherapy and/or behavioral management, may be indicated in the
treatment of common oral conditions.
 Recognize items in a patient’s medical history, including topical and systemic
medications, which may impact your intervention choice.
 Outline specific medication protocols that could be applied in each clinical
scenario.
The second half will focus on key elements in patient assessment in the context of oral
& oropharyngeal cancer.
Objectives (Part 2):
 Identify modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for oral/oropharyngeal cancer
in a patient’s health history
 Recognize clinical signs and symptoms concerning for oral/oropharyngeal cancer.
 Develop strategies to determine when to watch, when to treat, when to biopsy/refer
suspicious oral lesions.
