A Brief Overview of Oral Potentially Malignant Disorder

Cancer of the oral cavity is one of the most common cancers. Oral cancer is still only detectable at a late stage, and the survival rate for an oral cancer patient has essentially remained unchanged over the past three decades.
This study is concentrated on the oral precancerous lesions which are commonly seen in dental clinics and to give the general practitioners Knowledge for early detection of these lesions. A literature search was conducted using Medline, accessed via the National Library of Medicine PubMed interface, searching for articles relating to the precancerous oral lesions written in English.
