Abstract
The feature discusses three oral pathology cases presented by a dental student. The first case involves a 60-year-old female with red, swollen gums and frequent bleeding, diagnosed as Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid, an autoimmune disease. The second case is a 9-year-old male with a large radiolucency around a developing tooth, diagnosed as a Dentigerous Cyst, a developmental odontogenic cyst. The third case is a 67-year-old female with a bump on her gums, diagnosed as Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a type of oral cancer. Each diagnosis includes recommended treatments and referrals.
