Abstract

Abstract: Oral leukoplakia is one of the most common potential oral malignant diseases with high incidence and high possibility of cancerization. It can be clinically divided into homogeneous type and heterogeneous type, and the latter is more likely to develop into oral cancer. Oral leukoplakia treatment is divided into drug treatment and non-pharmacological treatment, compared with the former, the latter has a wide range of indications and quick effect. It has become the main choice for the treatment of oral leukoplakia in clinic. This paper summarizes the common non-pharmacological treatment methods for oral leukoplakia domestic and overseas such as laser, photodynamic therapy and traditional surgery, which includes their action characteristics and therapeutic effects. We hopely provide some references for the clinical treatments of oral leukoplakia.

Key words: oral leukoplakia, potentially malignant disease, non-pharmacological treatment
