Some of the most common oral mucosal diseases include oral
lichen planus and mucous membrane pemphigoid. Martin Greenberg,
DDS, chief of oral medicine at Penn Medicine, joins host Dr. Lee
Freedman to discuss how primary care physicians can diagnose
these conditions, some of which are chronic. Oral lesions are
often the first symptoms of various underlying systemic
diseases, including Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis. At what
point should a physician be concerned that an oral lesion might
be the sign of a more serious condition? Source: ReachMD |
