With the aid of the VELscope® System your practice can detect any oral mucosal abnormality that could be cause for concern including oral cancer and pre-cancer, as well as a wide range of other types of oral disease.

Introducing the VELscope to Patients

We suggest that the patient become familiar with the following benefits of a VELscope exam:

• State-of-the-art assessment tool for discovering oral health problems, including oral cancer;
• Routine aid in the quest for both oral and systemic health;
• Simple, painless, non-invasive, inexpensive (and possibly covered by insurance);
• Adds only 2 minutes to a routine oral hygiene exam;
• Early discovery leads to less invasive treatment and better outcomes.

Using the VELscope Blue-Spectrum Light

These are just a few of ways that the VELscope can be integrated into a practice:

• To inspect oral mucosa for an abnormal fluorescence response;
• Following the standard head and neck exam (i.e., white light exam and palpation);
• As part of a robust oral assessment process.

Upon Discovering an Abnormality

The following steps will provide the best course of action for patients:

• If an abnormality is discovered during the course of an exam, first attempt to determine its cause based on all of the clinical information acquired during the oral assessment process;
• If appropriate, after addressing the presumed cause, schedule a follow-up visit with the patient in 2-3 weeks to see if the abnormality has resolved;
• Persistent oral lesions require further assessment that normally includes biopsy or referral for additional diagnostic evaluation.
