What Does Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Look Like Clinically?
• Exophytic – Mass-forming
– Fungating
– Papillary
– Verruciform
• Endophytic – Invasive
– Burrowing
– Ulcerated
• Leukoplakic – a white patch
• Erythroplakic – a red patch
• Erythroleukoplakic – a red-and-white patch
9
• Identify precursor lesions – Leukoplakia
– Erythroplakia
• Be suspicious - biopsy clinically

• Extraoral examination – Inspect head and neck. – Bimanually palpate lymph nodes and salivary glands.
• Lips – Inspect and palpate outer surfaces of lip and vermilion border. – Inspect and palpate inner labial mucosa.
• Buccal mucosa – Inspect and palpate inner cheek lining.
• Gingiva/alveolar ridge – Inspect maxillary/mandibular gingiva and alveolar ridges on both the
buccal and lingual aspects. • Tongue
– Have patient protrude tongue and inspect the dorsal surface. – Have patient lift tongue and inspect the ventral surface. – Grasping tongue with a piece of gauze and pulling it out to each side,
inspect the lateral borders of the tongue from its tip back to the lingual tonsil region.
– Palpate tongue. • Floor of mouth
– Inspect and palpate floor of mouth. • Hard palate
– Inspect hard palate. • Soft palate and oropharynx
– Gently depressing the patient’s tongue with a mouth mirror or tongue blade, inspect the soft palate and oropharynx.

Leukoplakia
• A white patch or plaque that can’t be characterized clinically or pathologically as any other disease.
Rule of thumb: 20% of Leukoplakia will be dysplastic
• A red patch that can’t be characterized clinically or pathologically as any other disease.

Rule of thumb: 90% of Erythroplakia will be dysplastic

Adjunctive procedures
Adjunctive Diagnostic Techniques
• Elective aids to incisional biopsy
• Not substitutes for biopsy
• Delays in obtaining biopsy
– Delays in referral
– Patient resistance
– Medical reasons
– Low index of suspicion
Toluidine Blue Vital Staining
• Tolonium Chloride binds to DNA
• A positive result means that there may be dysplastic cells present
• A negative result does not
exclude dysplasia
• May be useful to accelerate biopsy or to identify an area to biopsy

Evidenced-Based Clinical Recommendations for Screening for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma JADA, May 2010
Adjunctive Screening Aids
• Devices intended to assist in lesion detection
– Devices based on tissue reflectance
• MicroLux/DL (AdDent, Danbury, CT)
• Orascoptic DK (Orascoptic, Kerr, Middleton, WI)
• ViziLite Plus (Zila, Phoenix, AZ)
– Device based on autofluorescence • VELscope (LED Dental, Burnaby, BC, CA)
– Device based on autofluorescence and tissue reflectance • Identifi 3000 (Trimira, Houston, TX)
• Device intended to assist in lesion assessment – Device based on transepithelial cytology
• OralCDx BrushTest (OralCDx Laboratories, Suffern, NY)
Adjunctive Screening Aids
• There is insufficient evidence that commercial devices based on autofluorescence enhance visual detection of potentially malignant lesions beyond that achieved through a conventional visual and tactile examination (III)
• There is insufficient evidence that commercial devices based on tissue reflectance enhance visual detection of potentially malignant lesions beyond that achieved through a conventional visual and tactile examination (III)
• There is insufficient evidence to assess the validity of transepithelial cytology of seemingly innocuous mucosal lesions (III)
• In suspicious mucosal lesions with high potential for malignancy, transepithelial cytology has validity in identifying disaggregated dysplastic cells (III)
(A conclusion of “insufficient evidence” does not necessarily mean that the intervention is or is not effective, but instead means that the panel did not find sufficient evidence to support a recommendation)

Identafi 3000
Press Release -Trimira™ LLC :
• Identafi 3000 uses white, violet, and amber wavelengths of light to excite oral tissue in distinct and unique ways.
• Biochemical changes can be monitored with fluorescence, while morphological changes can be monitored with reflectance.
• This multiple wavelength technology identifies abnormal tissue with more accuracy than the single color approaches currently on the market.
• The ability to read metabolic and physiologic differences makes it easier to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue.
• The combined system of fluorescence and reflectance uses the body's natural tissue properties as an adjunctive tool for oral mucosal examination.

Transepithelial Brush Biopsy
• Oralscan Laboratories, Suffern, NY

Transepithelial Brush Biopsy
• Complete transepithelial sample
• Adequate sample
• No anesthesia required
• Moisten brush and place either the side or the tip of brush on lesion
• Apply firm pressure and rotate 5 to 10 times
• Assess full thickness harvest by observing micro-bleeding
Transepithelial Brush Biopsy
Transepithelial Brush Biopsy
• Negative - no cellular abnormalities
• Positive – epithelial
dysplasia or carcinoma - Scalpel biopsy indicated
• Atypical - abnormal
epithelial changes - Scalpel biopsy indicated
OralCDx Brush Biopsy Report
OralCDx Transepithelial Brush Biopsy
• Drore Eisen, DDS, MD, Medical Director Oralscan Laboratories
• “The brush biopsy is used to test benign-appearing lesions that have been either watched or ignored in the past.”
• “These are lesions that dentists do not find sufficiently suspicious to warrant referral for scalpel biopsy, not those distinguished by signs and symptoms of malignancy, clear indications for scalpel biopsy.”
