The mouth is a window into overall health, and dental professionals are often the first line of defense in identifying oral signs of systemic conditions. However, recognizing and managing these manifestations can be complex and challenging.
Join CareQuest Institute, in partnership with the American Academy of Oral Medicine (AAOM), for a webinar that will provide practical guidance on identifying oral signs of systemic diseases, including complications arising from cancer treatments, autoimmune disorders, and other medical conditions. Our experts will discuss the critical role of dental providers in the early detection and intervention of systemic conditions, emphasizing a patient-centered approach. They’ll also share useful strategies for managing oral complications related to chemotherapy, radiation, and other medical therapies, equipping practitioners with actionable insights for clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify common and high-risk oral mucosal lesions by recognizing their clinical presentation, etiology, and associated risk factors through case-based examples.
- Apply evidence-based assessment techniques to evaluate oral mucosal lesions and support informed treatment decisions.
- Evaluate appropriate case management strategies for suspected malignant lesions, including when to make referrals and consider treatment options.
