Direct visualization of the oral tissue autofluorescence has been recently reviewed in
several studies as a possible adjunctive tool for early recognition and diagnosis of …

Background Oral cancer is a serious global issue and early diagnosis of oral cancer is the
key in reducing the high mortality rate. Autofluorescence properties of oral mucosa have …

Background and Objective: Oral cancer is one of the most common malignancies that affect
human beings across the world and early detection of oral cancer is believed to reduce the …

The aim is to evaluate the accuracy of autofluorescence for screening oral cancer in
comparison with toluidine blue staining and clinical examination. Oral mucosal disorders …

Autofluorescence examination of oral tissues using the VELscope has been suggested as
an adjunctive tool for cancer detection and diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the …

Objectives VELscope® was developed to inspect oral mucosa autofluorescence. However,
its accuracy is heavily dependent on the examining physician's experience. This study was …

Regular screening through white light inspection of the entire oral mucosa is the most
important examination method to identify precancerous lesions and early oral carcinoma …
