Abstract
The study presents the result of local, systemic risk factors, peculiarities of clinical manifestation, quality of primary diagnosis of precancerous oral lesions. Oral cavity cancer accounts for approximately 3% of all malignancies. Most oral malignancies occur as squamous cell carcinoma. Many oral squamous cell carcinomas develop from premalignant conditions of oral cavity. To prevent malignant transformation of these precursor techniques have been developed to address this problem. The early detection of cancer is of critical importance because, survival rates markedly improve when the oral lesions are identified at an early stage. Hence the study emphasizes on the importance of early detection, diagnosis of precancerous lesions and its role in prevention of transforming onto oral cancers.
