Oral Pathology


Oral and maxillofacial pathology (also termed oral pathology, stomatognathic disease, dental disease, or mouth disease) refers to the diseases of the mouth ("oral cavity" or "stoma"), jaws ("maxillae" or "gnath") and related structures such as salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin (the skin around the mouth). The mouth is an important organ with many different functions. It is also prone to a variety of medical and dental disorders.


The specialty oral and maxillofacial pathology is concerned with the diagnosis and study of the causes and effects of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. It is sometimes considered to be a specialty of dentistry and pathology. Sometimes the term head and neck pathology are used instead, but this might imply that the pathologist deals with otorhinolaryngologic disorders (i.e. ear, nose, and throat) in addition to maxillofacial disorders. In this role, there is some overlap between the expertise of head and neck pathologists and that of endocrine pathologists.
