Potentially malignant oral mucosal disease has some ability to give rise to malignancy of the oral epithelium i.e. oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The present article provides a succinct review of the possible or probable causes of potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesions (PPOEL). There is a focus upon studies that examined the causes or aetiological associations with clinically likely or histopathologically detectable oral epithelial dysplasia.
