2014 Common Oral Lesions
Michael Siegel, DDS, MS, FDS RCSEd


The World Health Organization has predicted that in the 21st century, dentists will assume the role of “Oral Physicians.” This course will examine oral soft tissue pathology to include candidiasis, allergies, aphthous ulcerations and lichen planus. Extraoral and intraoral manifestations, associated syndromes and management strategies will be reviewed. The format of this presentation is case-based and will encourage audience participation.

Learning objectives:
Participants will be able to:

• Recognize and treat commonly occurring soft tissue conditions.
• Recognize extraoral and intraoral signs of systemic disease and the dentists role in co-managing these conditions with the patient's physician.
• Prescribe medications for use on intraoral lesions which are commonly used to treat dermatologic conditions. Emphasis will be placed on drug interactions.
• Recognize commonly occurring adverse intraoral reactions to frequently prescribed medications.
