Oral Cancer and OPMDs – A Clinical Handbook for Dentists: Practical Tools for Detecting, Preventing, and Managing Oral Cancer in Dental Practice
Early Detection Saves Lives
Oral cancer remains one of the world’s most preventable yet often overlooked diseases. Despite advances in care, survival rates remain low—largely due to late diagnosis. Dentists play a critical role in changing this narrative. Every routine appointment presents an opportunity for screening, early detection, and patient education.
This handbook is a concise, practical reference created for everyday clinical use. It transforms the latest international guidelines (2020–2025), current research, and global prevention programs into clear, actionable tools for the dental chairside.
Inside, you’ll find:
Step-by-step checklists for comprehensive oral examinations
Flowcharts and algorithms to guide biopsy, monitoring, and referral
Updated insights on oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs)
Risk-based recall intervals for tailored patient follow-up
