Study Design: The study was designed as a radiological cross sectional study. Simple random sampling method was used to obtain study subjects.

Oral potentially malignant disorders: clinical diagnosis and current screening aids: a narrative review.

Around 300 000 patients are estimated to have oral cancer worldwide annually, and the incidence is higher in South Asian countries. In 2005, at the Congress of WHO, the term potentially malignant disorder (PMD)/lesion was suggested as a replacement for premalignant oral lesions and conditions. PMDs are those lesions of the oral mucosa that are at an increased risk of malignant transformation compared with the healthy mucosa.
