Introduction The practice of dentistry is an application of art and science. In everyday practice, the Dental practitioner reviews many cases of suspected pathology, and while some case presentations are very common, others are not common. This course is a refresher course of fairly common oral pathology conditions. A very strong background in Clinical Dental practice is assumed for this course. The course is most suitable for dentists and Dental hygienists who want a good Review with Clinical case presentations and radiographs to support the text. However, the course would be a useful summary and Review for all members of the Dental team who want to familiarize themselves with an overview oral pathology in Clinical practice.

Individuals must check with their state licensing boards for exact requirements for Dental license renewal. 2019 Statistics on Worldwide Occurrence Citing the Oral Cancer Foundation: Oral cancers are part of a group of cancers commonly referred to as head and neck cancers, and of all head and neck cancers, they comprise about 85% of that category. Brain cancer is a cancer category unto itself and is not included in the head and neck cancer group. Historically the death rate associated with this cancer is particularly high not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but due to the cancer being routinely discovered late in its development. Today, (2019) that statement is still true, as there is not a comprehensive program in the US to opportunistically screen for the disease, and without that; late stage discovery is more common.
