abstract: An educational program consisting of a slide presentation and lecture, a demonstration of how to examine the oral soft tissues, and handout materials was presented to practitioners, hygienists, assistants, and other personnel in their office. A pretest, a critique by the participants, and a follow-up questionnaire were used to determine the value of the program.
