Abstract
Oral medicine, a specialized field within dentistry, encompasses the diagnosis and management of various oral mucosal diseases, oral manifestations of systemic diseases, and oral complications of systemic therapies. This branch of dentistry relies on comprehensive knowledge of both dental and medical disciplines, often collaborating closely with other healthcare professionals to deliver holistic patient care. Key areas of focus include the identification and treatment of oral lesions, management of oral manifestations of systemic diseases such as diabetes and autoimmune disorders, and the provision of oral care for patients undergoing complex medical treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Advancements in diagnostic techniques, including imaging modalities and molecular diagnostics, have enhanced the precision and efficacy of oral medicine practice. Additionally, oral medicine practitioners play a vital role in patient education, emphasizing the importance of oral hygiene and regular dental visits for overall health and well-being.
Oral medicine, a specialized field within dentistry, encompasses the diagnosis and non-surgical management of medically related disorders affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. This discipline integrates principles of medicine with dental expertise to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex oral health issues. Through a multidisciplinary approach, oral medicine practitioners diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of conditions, including oral mucosal diseases, temporomandibular joint disorders, orofacial pain syndromes, salivary gland disorders, and oral manifestations of systemic diseases. With advancements in diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities, oral medicine continues to evolve, offering improved outcomes and quality of life for patients. This review explores the scope, significance, and evolving landscape of oral medicine, highlighting its role in promoting oral and systemic health.
