Abstract:

Cancer is spreading like air wave and head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer and Oral cancer is the 11th most common cancer in the worldwide. Tobacco use and consumption of excessive alcohol are the main causative factors for oral cancer. With dietary deficiencies, these factors cause more than 90 percent of oral cancers. Preventing tobacco and alcohol use and increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables can potentially prevent the vast majority of oral cancers. Early diagnosis is the most effective way of reducing the individual burden of the disease, decreasing morbidity and mortality and improving quality of life. For early diagnosis, healthcare providers should perform oral cancer examinations as part of their patient care regime, and need to be knowledgeable about early signs of oral carcinoma. Oral cancer awareness among the public should also be improved. The various advanced diagnostic aids includes Vital staining ??? Toluidine Blue/Lugol???s Iodine, Vizilite, Brush Cytology, Tissue Auto fluorescence- VELscope ,In Vivo Confocal Microscopy, DNA Ploidy & Quantification of nuclear DNA content, Tumor Markers & Bio Markers, PCR-Based diagnostic aids, Auto fluorescence Spectroscopy and, Fluorescence Photography. Dental health care workers have a duty to detect benign and potentially malignant oral lesions such as oral cancer and are generally the best trained health care professionals in this field. Prompt referral to an appropriate specialist allows for the best management but, if this is not feasible, the dental practitioner should take the biopsy which should be sent to an oral/head and neck pathologist for histological evaluation. The purpose of this poster is to showcase the various advanced diagnostic aids in the early diagnosis of oral cancer.
