Journal ArticleDOI
Nomenclature and classification of potentially malignant disorders of the oral mucosa
TL;DR: The terminology presented in this report reflects the best understanding of multi-step carcinogenesis in the oral mucosa, and aspires to engender consistency in use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral leukoplakia and malignant transformation. A follow-up study of 257 patients.
TL;DR: This study confirms that oral leukoplakia is a precancerous lesion and that certain characteristics indicate greater risks and warrant consideration of more aggressive management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially malignant disorders of the oral and oropharyngeal mucosa; terminology, classification and present concepts of management
TL;DR: At present, oral lichen planus seems to be accepted in the literature as being a potentially malignant disorder, although the risk of malignant transformation is lower than in leukoplakia, and the efficacy of follow-up of oral lichens planus is questionable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history of potentially malignant oral lesions and conditions: an overview of the literature
Séamus S. Napier,Paul M. Speight +1 more
TL;DR: The literature on the epidemiology and natural history of potentially malignant disorders (PMD) is reviewed, detailing those characteristics of the patients and lesions thought to be associated with future development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognosis of oral pre-malignant lesions: significance of clinical, histopathological, and molecular biological characteristics.
TL;DR: A substantial need to improve the histologic assessment of epithelial dysplasia or, since epithelial Dysplasia does not seem to be invariably associated with or even a necessary prerequisite for malignant development, it may be necessary to develop other methods for predicting the malignant potential of pre-malignant lesions.

Epidemiology: Principles and Methods
Brian MacMahon,Thomas F. Pugh +1 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this book is to introduce the principles and methods of epidemiology defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of disease frequency in man.

Definition of leukoplakia and related lesions: an aid to studies on oral precancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Follow-up studies in oral leukoplakia.
TL;DR: The tongue and the lips were the site of predilection for malignant transformation and for dysplasia in oral leukoplakia, and Candida albicans infection and the simultaneous existence of several aetiological factors seemed to play a role inmalignant transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies in oral leukoplakia: a preliminary report on the period pervalence of malignant transformation in leukoplakia based on a follow-up study of 248 patients
TL;DR: Among 248 patients with oral leukoplakia lesions, 214 were reexamined with a median observation period of 3.7 years and found under the conditions of the present study that the lesion had changed little in the past five years.

Incidence of oral carcinoma in patients with leukoplakia of the oral mucosa.
Jerzy Einhorn,J. Wersäll +1 more
TL;DR: There is no evidence the the incidence of oral carcinoma can be diminished by surgical removal of the leukoplakia but this does not mean that the operation should be abandoned, mainly for histologic diagnosis.
