Oral medicine is defined by the American Academy of Oral Medicine as a field of dentistry related to oral care for medically complex patients, including the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the mouth, jaw and face. Oral medicine is primarily a non-surgical specialty, and its procedures are limited to diagnostic biopsies, minor resections, therapeutic injections, and other minor surgical procedures. Disorders are often treated medically with topical and systemic medications. Oral medicine or oral illness doctors provide additional professional training in the diagnosis and treatment of oral mucosal abnormalities such as oral cancer, salivary gland disease, temporal and mandibular joint disease, facial pain, taste and odor disorders. I have experience. It lies on the border between medicine and dentistry. Oral physicians are essentially “oral physicians” trained to diagnose and treat patients with diseases of the orofacial region. Oral medicine deals with clinical diagnosis and non-surgical management of non-dental lesions affecting the orofacial region. Many systemic disorders have signs or symptoms that appear in the orofacial region. Pathologically, the mouth can be affected by many skin and gastrointestinal illnesses. There is also a unique situation in which hard tissue penetrates the continuity of the epithelium. Therefore, the biofilm that covers the teeth causes a unique pathological entity known as plaque-induced disease.
Examples of diseases addressed by oral medicine are lichen planus, Bechet’s disease, and pemphigus vulgaris. In addition, diagnosis and follow-up of oral precancerous lesions such as leucoplakia and erotic tarry, and chronic and acute pain conditions such as paroxysmal neuralgia, persistent neuralgia, myofascial pain, atypical facial pain, and autonomous headache. Another aspect of the field of expertise is the dental and oral condition of patients with medical disabilities, such as associated oral mucositis, bisphosphonate-induced jaw bone necrosis, or cancer patients with radiation therapy-related oral lesions. It is the management of. It is also involved in the diagnosis and treatment of dry mouth and non-dental chronic orofacial pain. B. Burning mouth syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia and temporomandibular joint disorders. Oral medicine is a specialty of dentistry related to the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of medical and oral conditions affecting the mouth, jaw and face. Oral medicine diagnoses and treats oral conditions that do not respond to traditional dental, oral or maxillofacial surgery. Oral medicine is useful for patients with severe and life-threatening conditions or complex diagnostic problems of the mouth, jaw, and face that require continuous non-surgical treatment. Oral medicine aims to improve the quality of life of patients with medical-related oral disorders [1-5].
Oral medicine is a specialty of dentistry dealing with oral care for patients with chronic, recurrent, and medically induced oral, jaw, and facial disorders, as well as their diagnosis and non-surgical treatment. Oral medicine is the focus of interdisciplinary care for patients with oral-related complaints that are not directly related to the teeth. These symptoms are often chronic and can have significant psychological and physical consequences on a patient’s quality of life. In some cases, the symptoms and signs reflect local problems that are confined to the mouth. However, symptoms and signs may represent oral symptoms of a wider range of diseases. The condition can be diagnosed by visual examination of the oral cavity and outside the mouth, and additional tests such as X-ray, biopsy, blood test, and microscopic examination. A thorough and accurate diagnosis should also take into account the patient’s medical history. Periodontists are specialists and specialists in oral medicine. Oral medications may be swallowed, chewed, or placed under the tongue to dissolve, depending on what the healthcare provider has prescribed. Swallowed medicines enter the bloodstream through the stomach and intestines and are carried to all parts of the body. This process is called absorption.
