the patient’s mouth wide open so that the cheek is stretched taut. Place four
fingers flat on the face over the parotid gland in the preauricular area and milk
the gland by using digital pressure to compress it against the masseter muscle
or ramus area. Most patients exhibit a subtle white line at the occlusal plane of
the buccal mucosa (i.e. linea alba), which is considered a variation of normal.
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

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. Well-suited as a clinical handbook or review guide, it is
full of color photos, case studies and discussion, along with synopses
of best current treatments based on up-to-date literature.
The ADA Practical Guide to Patients with Medical Conditions updates
the protocols and guidelines for treatment and medications and adds
information to aid patient medical assessments. The book organizes
individual conditions under three headings: background, medical
management and dental management. Written by more than 25
expert academics and clinicians, the evidence-based guide takes a
patient-focused approach to help you deliver safe, coordinated oral
health care for patients.
