During an intraoral examination, the following features are typically looked for:
1. Teeth and occlusion: The condition of the teeth, including any decay, missing teeth, or signs of wear. The alignment and occlusion (bite) of the teeth are also assessed.
2. Gums and soft tissues: The health of the gums is examined, including signs of inflammation, bleeding, or recession. The soft tissues inside the mouth, such as the cheeks, tongue, and palate, are checked for any abnormalities, lesions, or signs of infection.
3. Oral hygiene: The cleanliness of the teeth and oral cavity is assessed, including the presence of plaque, tartar, or stains.
4. Oral cancer screening: Any suspicious lesions, ulcers, or abnormal tissue growths are examined for signs of oral cancer.
5. Salivary glands: The salivary glands are checked for any swelling, tenderness, or signs of blockage.
6. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ): The TMJ is assessed for any signs of dysfunction, such as clicking, popping, or limited movement.
7. Bite and jaw alignment: The alignment of the upper and lower jaws is evaluated, including any signs of malocclusion or jaw discrepancies.
8. Dental restorations: Existing dental restorations, such as fillings, crowns, bridges, or dentures, are examined for any signs of damage, wear, or need for replacement.
9. Oral hygiene instructions: Patients are provided with oral hygiene instructions and recommendations for maintaining good oral health.
10. Radiographic examination: If necessary, dental X-rays or other imaging techniques may be used to assess the condition of the teeth, roots, and underlying bone structure.
