Description: Head and neck malignancies are the worst prospect that any dental patient can face, and morbidity and mortality are still closely linked to how soon the diagnosis is made. The importance of early diagnosis for the patient has led the GDC to make oral cancer a recommended CPD subject. Also, because dentists are in a unique position of seeing patients regularly for examination, the diagnosis and referral of skin lesions is becoming increasingly relevant. In these lecture Mark Singh will update the dental team on the diagnosis, referral, and contemporary management of malignant and premalignant lesions and conditions and lesions that affect the skin and oral cavity.
