Common Oral Pathology

Hi, my name is Brian Ryu, and I'm a board-certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon practicing in Texas. I created this lecture to highlight some of the most common lesions I see in my practice and wanted to raise awareness and improve diagnostic skills of those who see dental patients.

This oral pathology lecture is designed for dental professionals and students who want to enhance their diagnostic skills and deepen their understanding of oral diseases. The course provides an exploration of the etiology, clinical presentation, histopathology, and management of common and some uncommon oral conditions.

Participants will gain insights into a wide range of topics, including soft tissue lesions, radiographic lesions, cancerous lesions and some other lesions. Real-world case studies and clinical photographs will bring the subject matter to life, ensuring a practical and engaging learning experience.

The lecture also emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, highlighting the collaboration between general dentists, oral surgeons, and pathologists to achieve accurate diagnoses and optimal patient outcomes. Attendees will leave with a robust framework for incorporating evidence-based practices into their clinical workflows.

By the end of the course, participants will have sharpened their diagnostic acumen, gained confidence in formulating differential diagnoses, and developed a clearer understanding of when to biopsy, refer, or reassure. This lecture is an invaluable opportunity to learn the common oral pathology you may encounter.
