Novel classification system based on mental attitude for patients with oral leukoplakia: A proposal

The patient's mental attitude is crucial in accepting the condition and compliance with tobacco cessation counseling. Even so, it was not considered a contributory factor in any of the earlier risk assessment systems. In this context, we have proposed a classification system to categorize patients with leukoplakia based on their mental attitude about understanding the risk associated with the disease and their motivation toward tobacco cessation.
