The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.
In Sweden, education and training in intraoral inspection of the oral mucosa is a part of the curriculum in dental hygienists education, so there is an expectation that the dental hygienist routinely perform tactile and visual intraoral inspections in practice. However, DH are not trained in extra
The 5 year survival of oral cancer in Sweden is 55 % and only 3-4% in advanced cases, with poor quality of life. The etiology is hrHPV, exposure to tobacco and alcohol in 65% and poor dental status. All are lifestyle factors so there are many opportunities for prevention and intervention. In 2016,
The idea of identifying oral lesions with a precancerous nature, that is, in the sense of pertaining to a pathologic process with an increased risk for future malignant development, of course, is to prevent frank malignancy to occur in the affected area.
In 2005, WHO categorized any lesion or

Oral cancer is the most common cancer among men in India mainly due to the habit of using smokeless tobacco. Pre-cancerous lesions like leukoplakia, melanoplakia, erythroplakia,oral submucous fibrosis and indolent ulcers can be easily detected by periodic examination of the oral cavity of the
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine if chemoprevention by the Bowman-Birk inhibitor concentrate (BBIC) can prevent cancer in patients with oral leukoplakia (OL).
II. Determine the clinical and histologic response rate of OL to BBIC.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Measure the effect of BBIC on intermediate
Oral precancerous lesions (OPL) represent a valuable model for clinical trials for tobacco related cancers. However, due to the relatively low prevalence of this condition in the United States, subject accrual to such trials is slow. Conversely, in India, the prevalence of oral leukoplakia is among
