It usually forms on the inner surface of the mouth, especially inside the cheeks, on the tongue, and on the gums. It can appear flat or raised. Additionally, they do not cause pain and may be difficult to notice initially.<\/p><p>Leukoplakia is, in fact, more of a description than a diagnosis, and some types carry a risk of transforming into cancer in the future. Therefore, they may need to be evaluated and monitored by a dentist or an oral diagnosis specialist. Early diagnosis helps prevent potential serious problems.<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Leukoplakia\"><\/span>Types of Leukoplakia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>There are two main forms: homogeneous and heterogeneous (non-homogeneous). The homogeneous type generally consists of smooth, white lesions. In the heterogeneous type, redder, nodular, or rougher areas are observed, and the risk of malignancy is higher.<\/p><ul><li><p><b>Homogeneous Leukoplakia<\/b> This is the most common type. Its surface is smooth, white-grey in color, with regular borders, and may be slightly raised. It does not contain cracks or nodules. Therefore, it is considered to have a lower potential for malignancy.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Heterogeneous (Non-Homogeneous) Leukoplakia<\/b> These types have a more irregular appearance and carry a higher risk of cancer.
