Where should the 18-year-old with Gorlin syndrome be referred?

  1. Oral surgery and prosthodontist
  2. Pediatric dentist and oral surgeon
  3. Oral surgery and orthodontics
  4. Oral surgery and periodontist
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Pediatric dentist and oral surgeon

Given the multiple OKCs that recur frequently and require enucleation, and the patient's age, referral to an oral surgeon (for cyst management) and a pediatric dentist (for comprehensive pediatric/adolescent dental care) is appropriate. Dermatology follow-up for BCC is also indicated.
