To learn if a new type of imaging device called the Active Biopsy Guidance System can help doctors to decide when and where to perform invasive biopsies of mouth lesions.
Primary objective: -To evaluate and optimize the technical performance characteristics of an Active Biopsy Guidance System. Secondary objective: -To provide a preliminary estimate of the sensitivity and specificity of the Active Biopsy Guidance System with respect to histopathology. Optical imaging; optical projection of light onto tissue; optical contrast agent (proflavine).

The High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME) take pictures of a very small area of the lining of the mouth, about the size of a pencil tip, but at high magnification.
The optical mapping scope displays a wide area of the lining of the mouth (about the size of the top of a soda can) by shining different colors of light into the mouth and taking pictures.
A coloring substance (a fluorescent dye which glows green in the dark), called proflavine hemisulfate, will be painted on areas of the mouth with a cotton tip applicator to help improve the pictures
