AB As  primary  care  physicians  and  consultants,  internists  are  often  asked  to  evaluate  patients  with  disease  of  the  oral  soft  tissues,  teeth,  and  pharynx.  Knowledge  of  the  oral  milieu  and  its  unique  structures  is  necessary  to  guide  preventive  services  and  recognize  oral  manifestations  of  local  or  systemic  disease  (Chap.  A2).  Furthermore,  internists  frequently  collaborate  with  dentists  in  the  care  of  patients  who  have  a  variety  of  medical  conditions  that  affect  oral  health  or  who  undergo  dental  procedures  that  increase  their  risk  of  medical  complications.
