Removing the Fear Factor from Detecting Oral Cancer and Other Mucosal Conditions
Alumni Speaker Series
Friday, October 23, 2009
1:15pm-4:15pm (3 CE credits)
New technologies are giving practitioners the ability to detect potentially malignant and other mucosal conditions at the earliest stages, enabling their patients to maintain a productive and enjoyable lifestyle. These early stage mucosal lesions are difficult to recognize under normal white light examination conditions and this course are designed to demystify oral mucosal examinations and enhance the clinician’s ability to discover oral cancer, potentially malignant, and other mucosal conditions at the earliest possible stages. This program will review the science, benefits, and utilization of these new sophisticated but simple to use screening modalities and will enhance the participants’ confidence and ability to deal with the screening, diagnosis, documentation, and patient management process.
Recommended for…Dentists, Hygienists, Clinical Auxiliaries.
