This fast-paced lecture will illustrate a variety of conditions encountered frequently in the dental office. Growths common in all ages, from children to the elderly, will be reviewed as well as the signs and symptoms of oral and oropharyngeal carcinoma and the role HPV plays. Developing an organized approach to oral examinations, attendees will understand how color, shape and size can aid in differential diagnosis, including distinguishing benign mimics of leukoplakia and erythroplakia.
