The 76th Dies Natalis of FKG UGM held a hands-on hands-on session with the theme “Chairside Oral Mucosa Swipe for Early Detection of Soft Tissue Malignancies in the Oral Cavity” on Saturday (27/4/2024).
This activity aimed to provide participants with a practical understanding of early detection techniques that can be performed directly at the patient's treatment chair.
Hands-on session led by Dr. drg. Alma Linggar Jonarta, M.Kes, from the Department of Oral Biology, in collaboration with Dr. Ayu Fresno Argadianti, Sp. PM from the Department of Oral Diseases.
