There has been a growing number of clinical studies on OPMDs in recent years, reflecting increasing interest in this field. Among these studies, EU countries have the second-highest number of publications after China. According to a meta-analysis, the prevalence of OPMDs is approximately 3.07%. While surgical diagnosis remains the gold standard, there is currently no standardized protocol for the surgical biopsy of oral lesions. To reach a protocol compendium for the collection of oral biological samples, a literature review on clinical studies with detailed methodologies of surgical biopsy of OPMDs in clinical settings was performed.
