CARL ALLEN

OVERVIEW

Background & Bio

Dr. Carl M. Allen is a Professor Emeritus of the Ohio State University College of Dentistry, retiring after 36 years of teaching. Following retirement, he joined a dermatology practice (Central Ohio Skin & Cancer, Inc.) with his colleague, Dr. Ashleigh Briody, who is also an oral pathologist. After out-growing the dermatology suite, they recently joined the Ohio ENT and Allergy Physicians.

Dr. Allen received his DDS from Ohio State in 1975 and trained in oral and maxillofacial pathology at Indiana University from 1978 to 1980. Throughout his career, Carl has been active in seeing patients clinically who are referred for evaluation of oral disease as well as histopathologically diagnosing oral and maxillofacial biopsy samples that dentists and physicians have submitted.

He has been a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology since 1983 and completed a six-year term (1994-2000) as Editor of the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. He was President of the AAOMP in 2004 and was a Director of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology from 2005 to 2013.

Dr. Allen has published over 125 refereed articles in dental and medical journals and has written chapters dealing with oral disease for texts in otolaryngology, microbiology, dermatology, and surgical pathology.

Two of his more significant contributions, however, were as a co-author and co-editor of the textbook Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology by Neville, Damm, Allen, and Bouquot, which is in its fifth edition, and the Color Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases by the same authors, published in 2019.
