What to look for after you say 'open wide'. A guide to examination of the oral cavity

J E Thomas et al. Postgrad Med. .

Abstract

Abnormal conditions of the oral cavity can have a significant impact on overall health, yet during many ostensibly complete physical examinations, the area is given only a perfunctory glance. Drs Thomas and Bender present guidelines for systematic, comprehensive evaluation of the oral cavity and provide case reports and figures to illustrate typical important findings.
