Presentation Title:
Medical History Front and Center – Oral Pathologies as Manifestations of Systemic Conditions

3 Continuing Education hours

Instructional objectives:

Upon completion of the session, participants will be able to:

Discuss the importance of current oral pathology knowledge when conducting intra/extra-oral exams.
Describe oral symptoms of various systemic conditions as presented in cases.
Explain the etiology, clinical appearance and possible treatment options for oral conditions presented
Compare/contrast lesions that can be considered in a differential diagnosis for each pathologic entity.

Completing a thorough medical history is an imperative step in the dental process of care. An examination of oral lesions that are manifestations of systemic diseases will be discussed in this course. Expand your reasoning as we look at lesions and oral changes, deciphering the systemic conditions they are evidence of. Etiology, clinical appearance, and treatment options of both common and uncommon conditions are included, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration with other health professionals. Dental professionals with keen eyes for these lesions/changes and the conditions they are associated with can elevate both patient and employer appreciation.
