Food similes and metaphors in oral pathology: A review

Abstract

The study of oral pathology is challenging but fascinating. By relating to the things we see frequently, a simple, straightforward method might reduce the tiresome effort of memorization of pathological features. In clinical, radiological, or histological representations, many diseases frequently resemble different foods. Thus, oral pathologists frequently name these diagnostic representations after food entities that we use in daily life to make the study of oral pathology easier and more fascinating. So, in an effort to make the study of oral pathology easier and more entertaining, we have endeavoured to assemble the culinary analogies that we employ in oral pathology.
