IMPROVING METHODS OF TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF LEUKOPLAKIA OF THE ORAL MUCOSA

Abstract

In recent decades, the problem of leukoplakia of the oral mucosa has become increasingly relevant in light of the growing number of diagnosed cases of this disease. Leukoplakia, which is whitish spots or plaques on the mucous membrane that cannot be erased and does not correspond to any other clinical diagnosis, is one of the most common precancerous conditions of the oral cavity. Due to the potential for these changes to develop into invasive cancer, the issues of effective treatment and prevention of leukoplakia occupy an important place in modern dentistry and oncology.
