Short statement
The Unit of Oral Medicine at KCL Dental Institute is based on two sites – one at Guy’s Dental Hospital
and the other at King’s College Dental Hospital. KCL Dental Institute is the largest dental school in the
UK spread across two campuses and has a very busy Oral Medicine Unit with five full time and one part-
Research interests within the Unit include Sjogren’s syndrome, orofacial granulomatosis, vesicullobullous
disease, oral premalignancy and cancer, opportunistic infections, oral manifestations of HIV disease and
oral ulceration. We have a particular interest in developing methods for quantifying the severity of oral
diseases so that outcome measures can be more accurately determined. We also offer a service for
LA allergy testing and skin patch testing for hypersensitivity to dental materials.The Unit collaborates
with other National and International centres of excellence on a wide range of research projects. We
also host the WHO Collaborating Centre for Oral Cancer and Precancer in the United Kingdom.
The Unit accepts primary referrals from general dental practitioners, general medical
practitioners as well as tertiary and secondary referrals from other dental and medical specialists. All
referrals are screened and prioritised by the consultant staff. Oral Medicine clinics are held daily at
either site and in addition, multidisciplinary clinics for patients with Sjogren’s Syndrome, Behcet’s disease,
oral manifestations of gastrointestinal disease and dermatoses are held once a month with consultant
colleagues from Rheumatology, Ophthalmology, Gastroenterology and Dermatology respectively.
We are supported by a team of enthusiastic and dedicated Oral Pathologists who provide the diagnostic
pathology service. We also have direct access to Oral Microbiology services, and immunology diagnostic
laboratories situated in the St Thomas' Campus and a direct service link with Imaging and Dental Radiology
within the campus. We have developed and managed mutidisciplinary clinics with rheumatologists,
ophthalmologists and gastroenterologists for the diagnosis and management of Sjogrens syndrome,
vesiculobullous diseases, oro-facial granulomatosis and Behcets syndrome.
Practitioners wishing advice on patient management may contact the Unit and consultant staff would be
happy to discuss cases.
