Human papilloma virus–related oral lesions are a growing concern in dentistry, requiring clinicians to confidently recognize, diagnose, and discuss them with patients. This interactive course reviews the oral manifestations of both low- and high-risk HPV subtypes, including squamous papilloma, verruca vulgaris, and HPV-induced oropharyngeal cancer. Through case images and clinical examples, participants will learn to identify lesion characteristics, explore treatment options, and communicate effectively with patients about HPV-related oral health concerns and cancer risk.
Learning objectives:
- Identify oral lesions associated with various HPV subtypes.
- Describe clinical features and treatment options for HPV lesions.
- Communicate effectively with patients about HPV and oral cancer risk.
