 A detailed description of brush cytology, and the oral brush biopsy.
In contrast, the value of cytology lies in the identification of early stage oral cancers and dysplasias whose clinical appearance is often innocuous or trivial.
Although many authors initially concluded from their data that oral cytology could serve as a useful adjunct to biopsy, the current general perception among both dentists and physicians is that the sensitivity of oral cytology is not sufficient to warrant its widespread use as a screening modality to triage visible lesions.
One major problem inherent in current oral cancer screening is that by visual examination alone, precancers and early stage oral cancers cannot be adequately identified, and such lesions may easily be overlooked and neglected, even by highly trained professionals.

The oral stage is voluntary and requires control of oral structures, including the anterior position of the soft palate.

Although oral cancer is not the most common form of cancer, this little-known disease strikes more Americans annually than some better-known cancers such as leukemia, melanoma, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer.
The reason why the overall oral cancer survival rate is so low is that more than half of all oral cancers are not detected until they are at an advanced stage.
Advanced cases of oral cancer frequently are associated with chronic pain, loss of normal use of the mouth for speaking and eating, and irreparable disfigurement to the face.

In psychological terms being "fixated" at the oral stage of development refers to a person’s need to nurture herself by putting things in her mouth.
People who are said to have an oral fixation may suck their thumbs into adulthood, smoke, suck on lollipops, eat a great deal, and generally experience the world through their mouths.
Since the oral stage of development is a very early one (the first year of life) you can imagine that someone who has not worked through all of the issues of that period will have unresolved conflicts and may exhibit some immature and childlike behaviors.

 Physiology of the Swallow
When the bolus passes the anterior faucial pillars/touches the posterior wall of the pharynx, the oral stage ends and the pharyngeal stage begins as the tongue driving force or the tongue's plunger action, forces the bolus into the pharynx.
The "oral tongue" which extends from the tip to the back, adjacent to the velum, functions during the oral stage of the swallow while the "pharyngeal tongue" functions during the pharyngeal stage.
It is the most critical stage of the swallow; airway closure must occur to prevent the bolus from entering the respiratory system.

 CTF Full Text Review: Prevention of oral cancer
The use of tolonium chloride testing in conjunction with oral physical examination should increase the recorded prevalence of oral cancer in case-finding (average sensitivity 96.7% with 90.8 average specificity), however Rosenberg et al<6> demonstrate that the prevalence remains sufficiently low to limit its usefulness.
Although oral precancers are relatively infrequent and population screening may therefore be inappropriate, their relative importance and significant rate of malignant transformation would support case-finding strategies, particularly in high-risk populations.
Several large case series report similar five-year survival figures and identify second primary oral cancers as the leading cause of death in these patients after local or regional recurrence.<29-33,36> The rates of second primary oral cancers exceeds 36% and adds further to the confusion in interpreting the effectiveness of treatment for invasive oral cancers.

From his account of the instincts or drives it followed that from the moment of birth the infant is driven in his actions by the desire for bodily/sexual pleasure, where this is seen by Freud in almost mechanical terms as the desire to release mental energy.
This is followed by a stage in which the locus of pleasure or energy release is the anus, particularly in the act of defecation, and this is accordingly termed the 'anal' stage.

ORAL - during the first year of life the libido is gratified through stimulation of the mucous membrane of the mouth (breast feeding, sucking behaviour).
For example, during the Oral Stage the child may not receive enough oral gratification, so will fixate on that stage and be inclined to prolong it to make up for lost time.
If, during the genital stage, sexual gratification is not satisfied, the person will then regress to a previous psychosexual stage which was a trouble-free source of gratification.
