      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.
