Introduction

This video details the process of a physical examination in dentistry.

The purpose is to guide dentists through a comprehensive physical exam to aid in diagnosis.

Key Takeaways

• Vital Signs: The dentist measures the patient's heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and stethoscope.
• Head and Neck Examination: A visual inspection and palpation of the head and neck region are performed to check for asymmetries, paralysis, skin lesions, and swollen lymph nodes.
• Oral Cavity Examination: A detailed examination of the oral cavity, including the lips, mucosa, tongue, palate, and floor of the mouth, is conducted using both visual inspection and palpation. Specific structures within each area are highlighted.
• Importance of Physical Examination: The video emphasizes the crucial role of a thorough physical examination in gathering necessary information for accurate diagnosis.
