Objective. To systematically review the
methodology and results of clinical trials conducted on oral precancer patients
using lycopene. Methods. An internet search using google search engine including key words
-''lycopene, oral submucous fibrosis oral leukoplakia and oral cancer''- was
done Full text articles in English language of all the clinical trials
that were published in journals from the year 2004 to 2016 were obtained and
evaluated. Results. The data
available from the clinical trials were analyzed and presented under broad
headings of sample size, duration of study, dosage and results and presented in
tabular form. Conclusions. Lycopene
is a promising candidate in reducing cancer and oral diseases in human beings. This
review discusses the benefits of lycopene in prevention of different oral
diseases.
