COURSE SUMMARY: This
course will cover the seven diagnostic methods that contribute to a final
diagnosis. They include the following features: clinical, radiographic,
historical, laboratory, surgical, therapeutic, and differential. Several
lesions and conditions in each category will be discussed from etiology to
prognosis. The strength of the diagnosis for each lesion will come from one,
two or more diagnostic methods. Clinical and radiographic features will be
stressed. Documentation procedures, biopsy techniques and referral options will
also be covered. One patient dies every hour of every day from oral cancer.
Every member of the dental team can help to reduce this dreadful statistic and
this course promises to show you how!
