The stages of patients with oral cancer visiting our clinic are sometimes so advanced that the cure is very difficult to obtain and that the functional damage after treatment is serious. The relation between oral cancer and denture has been discussed long time. According to a statistical study including about 500 oral cancers at an oral surgery clinic, about 70% of them visited dental doctors at first, and often incorrect diagnosis and inadequate management were done by dentists. Many patients with decubital ulcer caused by a decayed tooth or leukoplakia of unknown origin visit our clinic with anxiety for oral cancer.According to our 15 years experiences, follow up study of these partients are necessary even when the first biopsy was negative, because sometimes squqmous cell carcinomas developed from those ulcer or leukoplakias 1 to 3 years later.The authors wish to emphasize the necessity of health education of the people and good cooperation between otolaryngologists and dentists for the purpose of prevention and early detection of oral cancer.
