Efficacy of Rose Bengal in Comparison With Toluidine Blue in Detection of Premalignant Lesions: a Preliminary Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Biopsy, Rose Bengal, and 1 other intervention for Oral Leukoplakia and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 27 participants.
Detailed Summary
Abstract Objective: To study the diagnostic efficiency of Rose Bengal with Toluidine blue in detecting the biopsy sites and thus establish an accurate diagnosis in oral premalignant lesions. Materials and method: In our study 27 patients with 41 lesions were included. Since one patient had not quit the habit in the two weeks following initial examination and another lesion disappeared in the waiting period, 2 patients (3 lesions) were not included in the study. Out of 38 lesions diagnosed based on clinical criteria, 32 were leukoplakia, 5 lichen planus and 1 SCC. After initial examination they were subjected to Rose Bengal and Toluidine blue stain. If stained positive they were subjected to biopsy.
