Predictive Value of GOCCLES® Device for Early Diagnosis of Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders

Summary

Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are chronic pathologies which can suffer dysplastic alterations and evolve into oral cancer. The diagnosis of those pathologies is commonly done by visual inspection, which is not capable of determining the presence or not of dysplasia. Furthermore, this type of diagnosis depends greatly on the expertise and training of the professional. In recent years, new methods that can help early oral cancer diagnosis have been developed. A new device has been commercialized, named GOCCLES® (Glasses for Oral Cancer Curing Light Exposed Screening), based on the autofluorescence principle. The hypothesis of this study is that GOCCLES® device could be an effective tool to help in early detection of oral cancer.
