Abstract

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) refers to a varied collection of disorders that are described by increased threat for malignancy causing Oral squamous cell carcinoma, most common being leukoplakia, erythroplakia, palatal lesions as a result of reverse smoking, oral lichen planus, oral submucous fibrosis, actinic cheilitis, and discoid lupus erythematosus. The initialdetection along withdiagnosis of these OPMDs are vital for carcinomainhibition and cure of disease. Currently, there is a budding and determined requirement for innovative non-invasive, diagnostic proceduresthat might simplify the primary recognition of oral PMDs. In this review article, we take an account on these non-invasive diagnostic procedures for easy diagnosis of oral PMDs.
