When To Treat and When To Refer: An Introduction And Approach To Clinical Oral Pathology
Featuring Austin Davies, DDS
2 CE Credits
This talk allows providers to identify a clinical lesion the patient may not even be aware of. The presentation will introduce the provider to the triage pathway when faced with a clinically detectable lesion. From formulating a description to attempting low level invention, the attendee should feel comfortable triaging pathology after this presentation.
This talk will allow the participant to:
- Identify normal structures in the Oral Cavity
- One must be proficient in normal anatomy and anatomic variants to detect a clinical oral lesion.
- Reviewing the medical history correctly
- From medications, surgery, and familial history, this step represents the most common overlooked part in the clinical lesion work up.
- Provide a clinical description for a given lesion.
- While digital images have greatly improved job of the pathologist, still the majority of lesions do not come with a clinical or radiographic image. The dentist acts as the pathologist’s clinical eyes.
- Formulate a differential diagnosis for a given lesion.
- An actionable differential is one that allows the treating professional to attempt low level intervention.
- Recommend additional tests or questions to further classify the lesion.
- The results of low level intervention will allow the patient to be correctly triaged and then referred for definitive treatment.
