Diagnosis and management of oral white lesions can be challenging in clinical practice owing to their highly variable aetiology and different prognoses ranging from benign, often reactive mucosal lesions through to potentially malignant conditions or frankly invasive oral cancers. In this paper, the author proposes a pragmatic, clinically based approach to assessment, diagnosis and treatment based on a diagnostic decision making tree and six classic information-gathering questions: who, what, where, when, how and why?

Detection of furcation involvement (FI) is an integral part of full periodontal examination. The aims of this study were to: 1) investigate the extent to which furcation assessment was performed and recorded by undergraduate and postgraduate students on clinic; 2) evaluate the perceptions of teachers about possible problems in relation to furcation assessment among students; and 3) assess the impact of the dental school’s educational interventions on the improvement in furcation assessment among students. Students were interviewed after their periodontal assessment. This occurred in three different settings: undergraduate and postgraduate treatment clinics, and new patient assessment clinics. Teachers were also interviewed about their perceptions of the students’ quality of furcation assessment. Students were re-surveyed following educational interventions to improve their furcation detection. The baseline questionnaire showed that only 44% of the undergraduate students checked for FI; this compared with 83% of postgraduate students. Of those undergraduate students who assessed FI, only 13% used a Nabers probe and 63% did not record their finding in the patient’s notes. Following educational interventions, 56% of the undergraduates performed furcation assessment, with 78% of these using a Nabers probe. Furcation assessment is often missed during the full periodontal examination carried out by undergraduate dental students and Nabers probes are rarely used. However, teaching interventions have the potential to improve the students’ learning experience and therefore also patient care.

Oral cavity cancer is a lethal and deforming disease of rising global significance. We have previously highlighted limitations in contemporary awareness regarding sociodemographic influence on the prognosis and management of patients in Australia. Patients’ marital status has been proposed as an independent prognostic factor for various cancers but few data exist in relation to oral cancer outcomes. This study, a retrospective analysis of 21,858 Queensland oral cancer patients diagnosed over a 31-year period, confirmed a protective effect for marriage on survival, after adjustment for age and tumour characterisation. The benefits of marriage, however, were significantly greater for men than women, implying an important differential effect. Clinicians should be cognisant of the psychosocial influences on patient outcome following cancer treatment, and should consider the use of all available social support mechanisms to optimise patient survival and quality of life.
