| Abstract: | The purpose of this mini review was to provide information to improve the knowledge of dental surgeons and researchers about oral erythroplasia. It is defined as a red spot or plaque that cannot be diagnosed clinically or histopathologically as any other condition. Its pathogenesis process is unknown. Clinically, the lesions may present in different shapes and sizes and the preference sites for its affection are floor of the mouth, tongue, soft palate. Erytrhroplasia is rare, but has been considered, among of the potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesions, the one with the greatest potential for malignant transformation. Despite the severity, few studies evaluating erythroplasia alone. New methods of diagnosis and treatment have been studied, however, clinical and histopathological examination is still diagnostic methods, and the degree of epithelial dysplasia guides the treatment. However, less subjective alternatives for determining the degree of severity of oral dysplasias need to be established. |
