Atlas Patologia Bucal

Abstract

This work was designed as a way of compiling all the work, over four decades, carried out, through university extension, at the UFMS Dentistry Faculty. We produced it, then, so that UFMS has its own archive of clinical and histopathological oral diseases case records, which include systemic and/or local diseases that most involve the oral conditions diagnosed at the Faodo/ UFMS’ Oral Anatomopathology Laboratory. In most mouth diseases, signs and symptoms are expressed that can allow early diagnosis and consequent agility in treatment, mitigating possible sequelae. But for this to occur, it is necessary that oral health professionals are trained and qualified to recognize the characteristics of these lesions. The diagnostic process is a constant challenge in the lives of professionals working in the area of oral pathology, who have in the histopathological examination an important tool. We understand, therefore, that clinical and histopathological correlations are important to consolidate the learning process of oral diseases and the teaching-learning process. As a result, we believe that this work will serve as a support for students and professionals in the dental field.
