Activity Description

White lesions discovered upon routine oral examination can range from benign processes to invasive malignancies. It is prudent for the clinician to collect a thorough medical history, particularly focusing on potential carcinogenic habits like smoking, to formulate a comprehensive differential diagnosis. The significance of the clinical examination is highlighted, emphasizing the need for appropriate and complete documentation of findings. This activity reviews the most common benign chronic white lesions on the oral mucosa and their etiologies. This activity also highlights the role of the healthcare team in evaluating, managing, and potentially treating patients with these described conditions.

Clinicians can expect to gain valuable insights into the diverse spectrum of white lesions discovered during routine oral examinations. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the etiologies of these lesions and their typical locations within the oral cavity. By participating in this activity, clinicians can enhance their diagnostic skills, improve patient care, and stay informed about the latest developments in the evaluation and management of benign chronic white lesions of the oral mucosa.
