A Symposium on Important Oral and Cutaneous Lesions in Infants and Children 2015

This symposium is designed to update the practitioner on the diagnosis and management of common and important orofacial and cutaneous disorders and lesions. Dental anomalies, soft tissue and jaw lesions and specific skin disorders will be presented. This multidisciplinary discussion will also include newly defined lesions and the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Correlation of orodental and cutaneous with systemic disease and common syndromes will be discussed. Characteristic radiographic findings and the role of cone beam CT for jaw lesions will be highlighted. Interspersed throughout the course will be panel discussions about orofacial lesions and disorders so the audience can participate in steps associated with developing a differential diagnosis and formulate a plan for managing the condition. Sound bites summarizing timely literature on clinically relevant topics will ensure that the audience leaves with the most recent information. Extensive flow charts for establishing a working diagnosis and comprehensive medication handouts will complement the lecture material for use in the practice setting.
