ORAL
PATHOLOGY
Oral health doesn't just involve dental care but also includes the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of pathologies affecting the soft tissues and mucosa of the oral cavity. This is the field of study of Oral Pathology, a specialized branch of medicine focusing on the clinical, anatomo-pathological, and therapeutic aspects of all diseases affecting these areas.
Oral Pathology addresses a broad spectrum of conditions, from
infectious diseases to autoimmune disorders, to
tumors that can develop in oral and perioral tissues. This discipline emphasizes the importance of
prevention as the first step in maintaining good oral health. However, when problems arise, it provides
tools for
accurate diagnosis, the development of a
personalized treatment plan, and subsequent rehabilitation.
