Oral leukoplakia (OL) is recognized as the most common potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa. The pathogenesis of OL is complex and multifactorial, with oxidative stress playing a central role. Topical antioxidants have gained attention as therapeutic options to help stabilize lesions and potentially prevent malignant transformation. Both CoQ10 and curcumin have demonstrated a clinical success as strong antioxidants showing their capacity to reduce the lesion size and to stabilize the disease, ultimately preventing progression into oral malignancy. Aim: This study aims to clinically and biochemically assess the effectiveness of topical Coenzyme Q10 and Curcumin in the management of homogeneous oral leukoplakia.
