Oral Cancer
Oral cancer, a malignant condition affecting the mouth, encompassing the lips, tongue, and gums, manifests as sores or patches and is associated with risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol use. Timely identification through regular dental check-ups is crucial for swift intervention, involving treatments like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Technological advancements, including screening devices, imaging techniques, molecular biomarkers, robotic-assisted surgery, targeted therapies, digital dentistry (such as CAD/CAM and 3D printing), and telemedicine, play a pivotal role in facilitating early detection, precise diagnosis, personalized treatment, and ultimately, enhancing patient outcomes in the management of oral cancer.
