Abstract
Background: Dentistry training is based on biomedical sciences. Previous clinical experience has produced principles that influence the practice of dentistry. Some of these oral advisories have been recorded. Aim: This article reports some more important orally transferred aphorisms (OTAs: Tapping-tooth-pain, Vertical Movement, Biopsies, Recognition, Ruboffable, ODD principle, and Show-up plaque), Assumption, and deconstructs their implications, reasons and significance. Discussion: These reported OTAs evolve from clinical expertise and each act as a guiding policy in the execution of dentistry. Conclusion: OTA’s have been inherited from succedaneous progressive generations of dentists; those reported here may be supplemented in future as long as dentistry evolves as a profession to produce more accumulating wisdom among dental health care workers.
