Abstract: Leukoplakia is the most common precancerous lesion of the oral mucosa. The prevalence of this disease has been steadily increasing in the last few years. In addition, it is recommended to distinguish between this condition and other possible lesions with a similar clinical picture. Such a rapid increase in morbidity is associated with bad habits that are gaining popularity. We conducted a screening examination of patients by autologous fluorescence examination of the oral mucosa. Based on the results of the examination, a treatment plan was drawn up for patients, taking into account the risks of malignant transformation. All patients were under dynamic supervision. Based on the results of the study, patients with a history of leukoceratosis should regularly visit a dentist.
