| Summary: | Oral Potential Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) and cancerous cells inside the mouth
cavity is an important health issue throughout the world. Government and healthcare
practitioners put high priority to control and limit the mortality due to this fatal
disease. Traditionally, the main method for the diagnosis of oral disorders is the
biopsy. However, it is considered as an invasive and painful process for the patients.
Currently, along with conventional oral examinations (COE), there are a variety of
commercial diagnostic methods and devices available such as toluidine blue, light
based detection system (ViziLite® plus) and narrow-emission tissue fluorescence
(VELscope® and Identafi®). Although these screening devices help the doctors in
finding the abnormal areas inside the oral cavities, the use of these devices depends
on human observation to differentiate between a cancerous lesion and normal region. |
