A Practical Approach to Oral Cancer and OPMD's, a two-hour continuing education course, will be presented at this meeting by Paras Patel, DDS.

As oral cancer has received more publicity over recent decades, partly due to the evidence of Human Papillomavirus infection and its relationship to oropharyngeal cancer, the oral healthcare provider should feel comfortable about educating and discussing these topics with their patients. Our discussion will provide a brief overview of the statistics and predicted rates of both oral and orophayngeal cancer. We will go into brief detail about what populations are at risk as well as discuss the risk factors that contribute to the development of oral cancer. Additionally, and most importantly, we will identify the clinical characteristics of oral potentially malignant disorders and malignant lesions.
