The management of common paediatric oral medicine and pathology

Although much oral pathology in children is benign, it is essential to eliminate more serious illnesses. The presentation of pathology in children often differs from that seen in adults and the subtleties of these differences are often important in diagnosis. Additionally, many lesions change in form or extent with growth of the body. While some disorders are confined to the mouth, oral lesions may often be a sign of a systemic medical disorder. The same disease may present in a multitude of ways but equally, one presentation may be representative of many different disorders. These presentations will focus on an approach to the diagnosis and management of common, and some uncommon soft tissue lesions in children. As a diagnostic aid, conditions have been grouped according to presentation. The course will cover:

• Diagnosis and assessment in children
• Orofacial infection,
• Oral ulceration,
• Epulides,
• Neoplasia in children
• Periodontal disease and the premature loss of primary teeth,
• Gingival enlargements
• Vascular lesions
• Pathology in the newborn

Following this presentation, delegates will be able to:

· Identify common oral pathology in children

· Be able to assess and diagnose these conditions in children

· Have an understanding of the presentation and management and outcomes of oral pathological conditions presenting in children
