- Introduction: Early diagnosis of oral cancer
ameliorates the constancy of outcomes. Efficacious
untimely screening of PMDs through diagnostic addition
may ease preliminary diagnosis. However certain
hindrance and fetch of existing diagnostic add-on limit
their extensive use. Droroscope is an economical
fluorescence visualization device using blue light (400-
460nm) that expose abnormal oral tissue that cannot be
glimpse by white light. Droroscope is a palmtop intraoral
device with 3 lights (red, blue, green-amber).Aim: To
evaluate the efficacy of Droroscope in the early detection
of PMDs & malignant disorders. Objective: To observe
the borders of the lesion under various monochromatic
lights & to identify the specificity & sensitivity of the
device in identifying lesions. Material & methods: 20
patients over 18 years of age with a clinical diagnosis of
PMDs & Malignant disorders. Patient with a clinical
diagnosis of oral cancer, patients suffering from systemic
diseases were excluded in this study. Droroscope
examination: The lesion will then be visualized with blue
& green lights of the device & findings will be noted
along with photographs. Lack of fluorescence on blue
light will be regarded as being positive for dysplasia.
Visibility of blood vessels near the surface under green
light will be taken as positive change for dysplasia.
Correlation between the findings of the device and
histopathological findings will be done. Results: The
sensitivity and specificity of this device as per the sample
were 100% and 98.3%. So, DROROSCOPE was
statistically effective in detecting lesions malignancy
