Resumo


OBJECTIVE: To compare the findings of the clinical examination of the oral cavity with and without theaid of an intraoral video camera (“videoroscopy”) with the purpose of diagnosing epithelial precursorlesions (leukoplakia, erythroplakia and actinic cheilitis) and precancerous conditions (lichen planus).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Both forms of examination were performed in 100 patients withincreased risk of oral cancer. All patients were examined without the aid of any enlargement apparatusbefore the intraoral video camera was used. After each of the exams, the presence or absence of epithelialprecursor lesions or lichen planus was recorded. In the event a lesion was found, a digital picture was takena toluidine blue staining test was performed and then a biopsy was done. RESULTS: Of the patients withepithelial precursor lesions or lichen planus, 80% of the lesions had been observed in both of the examinationswhile 7% only had been diagnosed the after the videoroscopy. The results of the histopathological analysisand the toluidine blue staining tests are also presented. CONCLUSIONS: In this study videoroscopy issuggested for use on a regular basis in patients with an increased risk of oral cancer in an attempt to diagnoseearly lesions, select of the best area to be biopsied and during the following up of these lesions.
