筛查口腔潜在恶性疾病和口腔恶性肿瘤的传统方法包括传统的口腔检查和手指触诊。有证据表明，常规检查不能很好地区分口腔粘膜病变。已经开发了许多光学辅助工具来帮助临床医生检测口腔粘膜异常并区分良性病变和恶性病变。本文讨论了用于检测口腔粘膜异常的光学技术的进展。关于这类设备的文献，VELscope和Identafi，进行了批判性的分析，并讨论了口腔内窄带成像的新用途。光学辅助设备在帮助检测口腔粘膜异常方面是有效的；然而，还需要进一步的研究来评估这些设备在鉴别良性病变和潜在的恶性病变方面的有效性。
Traditional methods of screening for oral potentially malignant disorders and oral malignancies involve a conventional oral examination with digital palpation. Evidence indicates that conventional examination is a poor discriminator of oral mucosal lesions. A number of optical aids have been developed to assist the clinician to detect oral mucosal abnormalities and to differentiate benign lesions from sinister pathology. This paper discusses advances in optical technologies designed for the detection of oral mucosal abnormalities. The literature regarding such devices, VELscope and Identafi, is critically analysed, and the novel use of Narrow Band Imaging within the oral cavity is also discussed. Optical aids are effective in assisting with the detection of oral mucosal abnormalities; however, further research is required to evaluate the usefulness of these devices in differentiating benign lesions from potentially malignant and malignant lesions.
