Direct fluorescence visualization of clinically occult high‐risk oral premalignant disease using a simple hand‐held device

A considerable proportion of oral cancer and precancer is not clinically apparent and could contribute significantly to the late diagnosis and high mortality of oral cancer. A simple method to identify such occult change is needed.
