Course Description
Oral Diagnosis, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology
Oral cancer examination isn’t an optional service we provide our patients; it is one of our ethical obligations to their well-being and to our oath of service. This program will provide all dental professionals the most relevant and current data on oral dysplasia and oral cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality, and introduce the breakthrough that allows us to extend our clinical vision to a deeper, truly submucosal level by employing autofluorescence technology. The program will instruct how we may now easily, safely and effectively provide a more thorough oral cancer screening examination for the patients in our care.
The educational teaching methodology used in this course is a self-study lecture presented via pre-recorded webinar in concert with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the pre-recorded webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts.
