This seminar will discuss a range of oral diseases starting from the very common and proceeding to those which are intriguing, challenging and puzzling. At the end of the session you will be able to arrive at a list of differential diagnosis and management options for common conditions in day to day practice. This will enhance patient retention and augment your practice building strategies.
