Oral Pathology

There is significant morbidity and mortality associated with oral cancer, and despite medical advances, there has been little progress in this field. Detecting malignancy as early as possible is paramount and this may be facilitated by recognizing and appropriately managing oral potentially malignant lesions. A contemporary understanding of oral potentially malignant lesions will be reviewed with emphasis on diagnostic and management strategies.
