en Oral Frictional Hyperkeratosis: A brief review آسیب شناسی دهان و دندان Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology Review Review <div style="text-align: justify;">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.</div>   53 58 http://cofs.khuisf.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1-76&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Atousa Aminzadeh 10031947532846001243 10031947532846001243 No Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, Isf.c, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran Nader Kalbasi Gharavi 10031947532846001244 10031947532846001244 No Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology, Faculty of Dentistry, Isf.c, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran Amirhossein Yavari 10031947532846001245 10031947532846001245 Yes Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Diseases, Faculty of Dentistry, Isf.c, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran Zohre Hadi 10031947532846001246 10031947532846001246 No Faculty of Dentistry, Isf.c, Islamic Azad University, Isfahan, Iran
