| Core Tip |
This minireview provides general dental practitioners with a practical, evidence-based guide for the diagnosis and management of common oral mucosal lesions. It introduces a clinical classification framework based on lesion appearance, site, and risk, together with evidence-based first-line and adjunctive treatment options. Diagnostic pathways, severity-based escalation protocols, and integrative herbal therapies are also outlined. By integrating conventional and validated complementary therapies into a single decision-support framework, this minireview aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy, support safe and effective management, and bridge conventional and integrative strategies in the care of patients with oral mucosal lesions. |
