Early detection and prevention are critical for improved long-term survival. This lecture reviews etiologic factors associated with oral and oropharyngeal SCC. In the afternoon, we will review common categories of soft tissue lesions. Although many of these lesions do not carry significant morbidity, dental professionals must differentiate potentially benign conditions from those more serious.
