Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of imiquimod in treating oral dysplasia in adult patients. Imiquimod 5% cream could be a safe and practical treatment for oral epithelial dysplasia (a precancerous change in the mouth). The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does imiquimod help to make the lesions smaller and make the abnormal cell changes less severe?
- How can we make this treatment safer and more feasible?
Participants will apply topical imiquimod cream to treat the oral dysplasia and receive two follow-up biopsies after the treatment.
