CorrectIncorrect - Question 8 of 8
8. Question
Answer
Deep biopsy of the gingival and palatal mucosa and bone. Removal of teeth 207 and 211. Pain management should be augmented with consideration to an opiate, tramadol and gabapentin.
Discussion:
Neoplasia should be considered in all cases where extraction site healing is not complete within a reasonable time period (2-4 weeks). Palpation may be used as a reliable aid in evaluation of discomfort in patients suspected of oral pain. The diagnosis in this patient was histologically low grade biologically high grade fibrosarcoma.
