Description:
One person every hour of every day dies from oral cancer. The five-year survival rate is less than 50/50. Why? Because we as professionals do not do all we can to diagnose oral cancer at its earliest stage when the 5 -year survival rate can be as high as 80%. With the current technology on the market today, there is no reason for a dentist to miss an early diagnosis of a lesion. There are many excellent diagnostic tools to help dentists perform complete oral cancer exams. The purpose of the course is to familiarize the dentist and hygienist with a simple oral cancer examination technique using nothing more than a piece of gauze, and a mouth mirror. Adjunctive fluorescence visualization devices will also be discussed.
