Mucosal abnormalities often present diagnostic uncertainty due to varied clinical appearance and overlapping features. This book examines mucosal lesions and diagnostic challenges encountered in dental settings. It includes red, white, ulcerative, pigmented, and vesiculobullous lesions, with clinical algorithms and case illustrations. Histological correlation, biopsy indications, and referral guidelines are discussed. It assists practitioners in differentiating benign from serious conditions and improving diagnostic confidence.
