Abstract:
Actinic cheilitis is an oral potentially malignant disorder caused by UV radiation leading to damage to
epithelial keratinocytes of the lips. It predominantly affects the vermillion border of the lower lip. Due to its
association with chronic UV exposure, associated risk factors include geographic areas, outdoor occupations, and
skin subtypes. A high proportion of lip squamous cell carcinomas arise from actinic cheilitis lesions, with histological
examination usually showing a degree of dysplasia. This paper aims to review the existing literature regarding the
clinical picture of actinic cheilitis, its prevalence, differential diagnoses, and consensus on management, for the
education of the general dental practitioner in identifying and surveillance of this lesion.
