Member Meeting - October 21, 2026

Presentation: Oral Medicine Round Table: Practical Tips from Clinical Practice   Dr. Dean will present a series of short cases highlighting key features in the diagnosis and management of oral lesions/orofacial conditions commonly encountered in dental practice. Cases will review immune-mediated mucosal and salivary disorders, adverse effects of medical and dental therapies, and risk assessment in oral premalignant disorders. The session will end with an oral pathology “lightning round” (time permitting).

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize key signs and symptoms of oral mucosal and salivary disorders commonly encountered within dentistry. 
  • Develop strategies to determine when to watch, when to treat, and when to refer these conditions to a specialist.
  • Improve confidence in using over-the-counter interventions and prescription in the management of these conditions.
