  12. Patient: Shirley Gorrell (352-8-25)Traumatic Ulcerations on Large Palatal Torus Prognosis Stable and good, provided that the patient avoid physical and chemical irritants. Treatment Plan • Frequent burning of palate – avoid hot and spicy • Consider stent to protect palate – patient refused • Yeast culture – negative • Lidocaine viscous – prescribed by Dr. Whitt to reduce pain resulting from ulcerations • Warm salt water – patient told to rinse daily
