Abstract

Recently there has been an increased interest in the possible role that viruses and especially the Human Papilloma virus (HPV) could play in the etiology of lesions of the oral mucosa. A distinction has to be made between the so-called low-risk types of the virus (HPV-2, 6, 11, 13 and 32) which can be found in benign oral mucosal lesions, and the high-risk type (HPV-16), which predominantly is found in malignant oral mucosal lesions.
