Opis

Pediatric Oral Pathology is an art and science of dentistry that deals with the etiology, pathogenesis, management and prognosis of various diseases and developmental anomalies affecting oral and paraoral structures of infants, children through adolescence and encompass primary and comprehensive, preventive and therapeutic oral health care through variety of disciplines, techniques, procedures, and skills that are modified and adapted to the unique requirements of infants, children, adolescents, and those with special health care needs.Soft tissue lesions of the oral cavity are common in children. When evaluating soft tissue lesions, it is important to distinguish between findings that are normal and those that are indicative of gingivitis, periodontal disease, local or systemic infection, and potentially life-threatening systemic conditions.The presentation of pathology in children is often different from adult pathology and the subtleties of these differences are often important in diagnosis. In addition, many lesions change in form or extent with growth of the body.

Gera, DivyaI, Dr Divya Gera, am an aspiring Pediatric Dentist. I love children & hence, have a special interest in treating their dental problems. I also have a keen interest in psychology, which makes me connect more with the kids. I maintain that oral pathology, though a difficult topic, is extremely important for learning and practicing dentistry.
