Adjunctive diagnostic tools

Clinicians are still at a disadvantage when it comes to diagnosing oral cancer at an early stage.

Adjunctive aids have been developed to allow chairside detection of lesions that might be oral cancer or malignant disorders. Several are now available for these purposes and were reviewed for their effectiveness.
