Abstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) is an endogenous highly conserved non-coding RNA, which is involved in various biological activities of the body, and is closely related to the development of a variety of cancers. Recent studies have shown the potential of miRNAs as a molecular marker for malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia and therapeutic target of oral leukoplakia. In this study, the application of miRNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of oral leukoplakia was reviewed.

Key words: microRNA, oral leukoplakia, malignant transformation
