While retracting the cheeks, use mirror‐assisted indirect vision to examine the tuberosity/hamular notch area and then, with direct vision, use the fingers and a mirror face to retract the buccal and labial mucosa, and observe the facial alveolar mucosa, mucogingival junction, attached gingiva, and free Hard palate Soft palate Uvula Geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscles supporting the floor of the mouth Buccal mucosa Lingual tonsil Palatine tonsil Upper lip Anterior two-thirds of the tongue Base of the tongue (Posterial one-third) Nasal cavity Pharyngeal tonsil Upper labial mucosa (a) (b) Maxillary gingiva Hard palate Soft palate Maxillary tuberosity Tonsil and pillars Retromolar pad Mandibular vestibule Lower labial mucosa Mandibular gingiva Hamulus Uvula Figure 1.2 (a) Oral cavity proper, frontal view.

Dental pro- viders also need to be aware that use of herbal supplements, often not revealed in the health history, can enhance bleeding risk. Four of the top five supplements (green tea, garlic, ginko biloba, and ginseng) taken by dental patients in a dental‐school‐based study are reported to enhance bleeding risk.6 Weighing against the need to discontinue aspirin therapy for dental extractions, a recent case–control study demonstrated no The ADA Practical Guide to Soft Tissue Oral Disease, Second Edition, takes you through screening examinations, description and documentation, differential diagnosis and guidelines for observation and referral.
