Abstract

Oral medicine is a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions. This discipline bridges the gap between dentistry and medicine, addressing a wide range of systemic diseases that present with oral manifestations. The scope of oral medicine includes the management of complex cases involving oral mucosal diseases, salivary gland disorders, oral manifestations of systemic diseases, and conditions such as oral cancer and chronic pain syndromes. Oral medicine practitioners employ a multidisciplinary approach, often collaborating with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care. They utilize advanced diagnostic techniques, including biopsy, imaging, and laboratory tests, to identify and treat conditions effectively. This field also encompasses preventive care, patient education, and the development of treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs. The integration of oral medicine into clinical practice is essential for improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with oral health issues.
