Adherent white plaques in a nonsmoker

A 48-year-old native-born Caucasian female, nonsmoker, presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Clinic on referral from a local oral surgeon, with a 6-month history of multiple well-defined white plaques involving the mandibular anterior attached gingiva, maxillary and mandibular vestibules at frenula, with smaller areas of bilateral buccal mucosa and tonsillar pillars. Lesions appear homogenous bright white with a smooth surface (Figures 1a-d). She denied any history of pain or tenderness and there was no history of recent dental treatment, any type of trauma or recent change in any oral health care products.
