About the Recommendation
This new recommendation is part of the ADA’s ongoing work with the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine (Penn Dental Medicine) to update a 2017 guideline on the evaluation of potentially malignant disorders, including oral cancer.
Feedback will be reviewed and used to inform the salivary testing adjuncts recommendations, which is expected to publish in the summer of 2026.
