The spectrum of conditions managed by Oral Medicine specialists is wide. It includes,
among others, ulcerative and vesiculobullous diseases of the oral cavity, orofacial
neuropathies, salivary gland disorders, oral complications from cancer therapy, and
potentially malignant oral disorders, which may cause severe morbidity and mortality.

Due to the chronicity of many of these conditions, most treatments' primary management
strategies are typically symptomatic and not curative. The risk-benefit balance for
all treatments should be considered before commencement and ideally be accompanied
by a high-quality evidence base to support the decisions made by clinicians.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
