ESCRIBANO-BERMEJO, M. e BASCONES-MARTINEZ, A.. Oral leukoplakia: Current considerations. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2009, vol.25, n.2, pp.83-97. ISSN 2340-3152.
The oral leukoplakia is the most frequent premalignancy of the oral cavity. Clinically, it was defined by the WHO as a predominantly white lesion of the oral mucosa that cannot be characterized as any other definable lesion, with an obvious tendency to become an oral cancer. The aim of this article is to review the current concepts related with the oral leukoplakia, paying special attention to terminology, aetiology, malignant potential and treatment.
Palavras-chave : Oral leukoplakia; premalignancies.
