What do Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists do?

Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists diagnose and manage diseases of the mouth, jaws, and facial region by interpreting clinical, radiographic, and microscopic findings, often through biopsies and other tests. 

They identify and treat a range of conditions, including soft-tissue lesions, autoimmune disorders, salivary gland disorders, cysts, tumors, and oral side effects of medical treatments such as chemotherapy.  

What they do

Diagnosis: They use a combination of clinical examination, imaging, and microscopic analysis of cell samples (biopsies) to diagnose a wide variety of conditions affecting the oral cavity and surrounding structures. 

Patient Management: Oral pathologists work closely with referring dentists and surgeons to provide diagnoses and, in some cases, manage treatment. 

Specialized Knowledge: They possess expertise in identifying abnormalities in soft tissues, including ulcers, precancerous lesions, and oral manifestations of systemic diseases. They also understand conditions affecting the bones of the face and jaws, such as cysts and tumors, notes Dr. Banks’ website. 

Treatment of Oral Complications: They manage the long-term oral effects of cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy) and other medical therapies, according to Weill Cornell Medicine. 

Oral Hygiene and Screening: They often perform oral evaluations for patients before solid-organ transplants, stem cell transplants, and other complex medical procedures, ensuring the mouth is in good condition for these procedures. 

Conditions They Treat 

  • Soft tissue lesions, such as white, red, or pigmented spots
  • Salivary gland lesions and stones
  • Oral manifestations of autoimmune diseases like Sjögren’s syndrome
  • Cysts and tumors involving the jaws and facial bones
