Assessment of treatment of oral leukoplakia

Аннотация

The main goal of oral leukoplakia treatment is to detect and prevent malignancy. The first step is to stop dangerous activities such as smoking. Additional histopathological evaluation is required. The degree of dysplasia determines the choice of treatment. Oral leukoplakia can be completely ruled out when the risk of malignancy (dysplasia or simple dysplasia) is low, or other factors such as location, size, and the patient's involvement in smoking cessation should be considered in decision making. Surgical treatment is recommended for moderate to severe epithelial dysplasia.
