Changes and
Challenges in Patient Treatment in the New Millennium
Dr.
Stephen Flint, Consultant in Oral Medicine, Dublin Dental
Hospital Trinity College, Dublin, delivered a paper
to the Dublin meeting entitled: Extra-oral Diagnosis.
A Forgotten Art. Starting with the premise that dental
disease has been artificially separated from the field
of medicine while many systemic diseases with oral manifestations
make no such division, Dr. Flint demonstrates how a
thorough extra-oral examination can help the dental
surgeon to predict what will be found in the patient's
oral cavity.
Dr. Flint, MA, PhD, MBBS(Hons), BDS(Lond),
FDSRCS(Eng), FFDRCSI, FICD, has published over 50 peer-reviewed
papers in the area of oral medicine and oral cancer,
Sjogren's syndrome, oral manifestations of systemic
diseases and DNA molecular biology. He has contributed
to 10 textbooks and chapters in books, and his Atlas
of Stomatology, now in its third edition and translated
into 5 languages, won several medical publishing awards.
