Lim, Moles, et al: Opportunistic Screening for Oral Cancer and Precancer in General Dental Practice ¡ Opportunistic screening in a general dental practice setting may be a realistic alternative to population screening. ¡ General dental practice is ideal for the evaluation of such systems prior to extending these studies to other healthcare setting.

A PRACTICAL TECHNIQUE OF SCREENING FOR ORAL CANCER (SUMMARY) —reported at 41 st APACPH(Asia Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health) Confrerence, 5 th Dec. 2009 L. J. Hahn, DDSc, FICD Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, National Taiwan University Hospital

Current and conventional method of screening for oral cancer in Taiwan ¡ The examiner and the examinee sit face to face on 2 chairs. ¡ The examiner use only 1 -2 disposable tongue depressors without using mouth mirrors, to perform the so-called “oral cancer screening”. 28

Disadvantages of such conventional methods ¡ Against human engineering ¡ No mouth mirror → no complete screening (there are dead corners on examination) ¡ Prone to result in FALSE NEGATIVE finding. 29

Correct and practical method of screening for oral cancer ¡ The examinee takes supine position ¡ The examiner sits at 7 -11 o’clock position of the head of an examinee ¡ Use 2 mouth mirrors( 2 -mirror technique ) ¡ Examine 50 sites of the full mouth mucosa, in definite order without missing any site. 30

4 Functions of the mouth mirror ¡ As a mirror ¡ To reflex light to the site where close examination is needed. ¡ As a retractor ¡ For primary “palpation” ¡ So, using mouth mirrors is mandatory to perform correct screening for oral cancer.

“Palpation” with a mouth mirror ¡ Whilst digital palpation of the mucosa would be ideal, for practical reasons MOUTH MIRRORS may be used to gain an idea of the texture of the tissues. ¡ Digital palpation using any necessary precautions, may then be reserved for the examination of particular lesions. ─ WHO : Guide to epidemiology and diagnosis of oral mucosal diseases and conditions, 1980 ¡ As suggested in the WHO guide, 2 mouth mirrors are recommended with digital palpation for particular lesions ─Zain et al : Clinical criteria for diagnosis of oral mucosal lesions, 2002

Advantages of 2 -mirror technique of screening for oral cancer by supine position ¡ Good accessibility to the oral cavity ¡ Fit human engineering - for adequate inspection and palpation ¡ Using 2 mouth mirrors- much better than just using tongue depressors only ¡ Natural posture, less fatigability ¡ Can detect more precancers and early cancers(may achieve “downstaging”) ■ ■ Less possibility of causing FALSE NEGATIVE result.

A simplified method of screening for oral cancer (Hahn’s method) ¡ Can be used if the dental, or flexible and portable chair for oral cancer screening is unavailable (Please watch DVD demonstration, if available)





Two Mouth Mirrors在篩檢時的功能 -2 Mirror Technique 1. 鏡子功能:照出視線無法直接看到的地方,如小 部位、小角落或牙齒後方視線死角處(舌側、腭 側)黏膜。 2. 反射功能:可藉反射送更多光線到需細看的部位。 3. 當做肌鈎(retractor): 推開或拉開舌、唇、頰等。 4. 用來觸診:可做經常性或初步的觸診,必要時對 特殊病變(particular lesions)才換用手指觸診即可 (WHO Guide to epidemiology and diagnosis of oral mucosal diseases and conditions/Clinical Criteria for Diagnosis of Oral Mucosal Lesions- An aid for dental and medical practitioners in the Asia-Pacific Region)
