sandy5, The term I think you are looking for is oral mucosa which is the mucosa membrane (inlcuding the gums) lining the mouth. However, I would check with the physician regarding his/her diagnosis. Thanks for your question. If you need any additional clarification, please let me know.

sandy5, However, "oramucosal" is an adjective which refers to the oral mucosa. ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=oromucosal&btnG=Google+Search Regards, aceresearcher |

Might as well add buccal (s/l buckle) mucosa to the list in case you're doing a lot of ENT. http://www.fpnotebook.com/DEN2.htm |

doctors' dictations often get mis-transcribed. Most likely the term used was oral mucosa. It means the inside of the mouth. Pink and moist means it looks the way it's supposed to look. Normal mouth surfaces. |
