Abstract: (30 Views) |
Introduction: Among various white oral lesions frictional keratosis is a commonly reported lesion. Thus, It is essential for clinicians and pathologists to be familiar with diagnosis and proper management of this lesion for better patient care and outcomes.
Methods: The present research was based on full-length papers gathered from PubMed and PMC from 2015 to 2025 regarding demographic information, clinical findings, and histopathological findings of oral frictional keratosis.
Conclusion: When addressing oral white lesions, the recommendation is to identify and eliminate the underlying cause while allowing adequate time for the lesion to heal. If the lesion persists or worsens despite removing the etiological factor, a biopsy should be performed. Furthermore, if the cause remains unclear or if the keratotic lesion is situated in a high-risk area for malignancy, a biopsy is crucial for ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
