Correlation between clinical and histopathologic diagnoses of potentially malignant oral lesions [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The serious nature of potentially malignant oral lesions (PMOL) demands that the final diagnosis be made on both clinical and histopathologic grounds.

A Retrospective Analysis of the Diagnostic Accuracy in Diagnosing OPMD and Benign Oral Lesions
ABSTRACT Objective The clinical suspicion of a neoplastic lesion necessitates prompt diagnostic assessment through oral biopsy. However, the failure to accurately recognize an oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) or the misdiagnosis of a benign lesion can lead to diagnostic delays with significant impact on the patient's health.

A Review on Image Processing and Fractal Analysis in Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders
ABSTRACT Aim The clinical evaluation of patients with oral potentially malignant disorders is primarily based on physical examination and observable clinical features. Clinical photographs play a key role in patient monitoring and help identify signs that may indicate malignant transformation.

Chromosomal Alterations and Gene Expression Changes Associated with the Progression of Leukoplakia to Advanced Gingivobuccal Cancer [PDF]
We present an integrative genome-wide analysis that can be used to predict the risk of progression from leukoplakia to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) arising in the gingivobuccal complex (GBC). We find that the genomic and transcriptomic profiles of

Increased Genetic Instability in Exfoliated Oral Cells in Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the nuclear abnormalities of cytotoxicity—karyorrhexis (KR), karyolysis (KL), and pyknosis (PN)—and genotoxicity—micronucleus (MN) in exfoliated cells from different sites of the oral mucosa in patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and a control group.
