Oral Cancer Screening – Quick & Painless Check
Our oral cancer screening is part of every routine patient examination. The goal is early detection of abnormalities when treatment is most effective.
Quick and painless visual exam
Checks for unusual lumps, bumps, or lesions
Annual screening recommended
If a suspicious lesion is found, a biopsy is performed
Biopsy – Confirming Diagnosis with Precision
If a suspicious lesion is found, a biopsy is conducted under local anesthesia and sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. Dr. Fakom will review the results and discuss treatment options.
H2 : Exploratory Flap – In-Depth Diagnosis for Periodontal Conditions
Most periodontal problems can be diagnosed by a careful oral examination and review of the patient’s X-rays. However, sometimes, clinical testing may not give a clear answer, and there may be no obvious findings on the X-rays either. In these cases, performing an exploratory flap can be helpful to determine the problem and finalize diagnosis and treatment appropriately.
01. Reflecting the gum tissue from the tooth
A temporary process, it allows better visualization and access for the doctor.
02. Surgical Mircroscope
A surgical microscope allows Dr. Fokam to see details of the teeth and root surfaces up to 26 times more clearly than the naked eye. This will help to identify an abnormality with greater accuracy and precision.
03. Treatment
An adequate treatment plan will subsequently be based on the findings.
