  • Title: Detection of premalignant oral lesions: a 10 year retrospective study in Alberta.
    Author: Peters E, McGaw WT.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 1995 Sep; 61(9):775-8. PubMed ID: 7585266.
    Abstract:
    A comprehensive review of all oral premalignant lesions and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) diagnosed and biopsied by the oral pathology diagnostic service at the University of Alberta over two sequential five-year periods (1984-1988 and 1989-1993) was undertaken. There was a disproportionate increase in the number of premalignant biopsies conducted in 1989-93 relative to the number of SCC biopsies, suggesting an improvement in the detection of oral pre-malignancy by dentists.
