“A Pathologic Tour of the Oral Cavity” is a
clinically-oriented presentation focusing on the more commonly
encountered oral diseases in the practice of dentistry. A
multimedia format will be used to present a variety of oral
lesions that may be detected during an oral examination by any
member of the dental team. The goal of the presentation is to
reacquaint clinicians with oral pathologic conditions and to
update them on current understanding of the nature of these
conditions.

Tennessee College of Dentistry in 1974. He also earned a juris
