This seminar is a review of oral pathology for dental professionals, using case studies to “tell the stories” of patient conditions that present as “abnormal” or “suspicious.” Attendees will participate in discovering a differential diagnosis for each case, considering the “best” assessment strategies and technology. Attendees will practice using oral diagnostic and assessment technologies to confirm suspected lesion characteristics. Groups will collaborate to solve cases.
