title: Squamous cell carcinoma of the gingiva. A review.
abstract: The main predictor of survival is clinical stage at diagnosis. If diagnosed early enough, squamous cell carcinoma of the gingiva is curable. It is important that dentists be aware of the early signs of disease. They are often the first professional seen by these patients, and are the most skilled among health care workers at performing oral examinations.
