The article analyzes the results of the inspection of pathological foci of the oral mucosa using autofluorescence spectroscopy. The method allows to differentiate various diseases based on endogenous radiation between normal tissues and pathological foci when excited in the ultraviolet and blue regions of the spectrum. Using this method, 570 residents of Saratov were surveyed. Inflammatory, precancerous and cancerous diseases prevailed in the structure of diseases in the examined patients, which, when illuminated with the APS LED device, had different luminescence options. Oncoscreening with the use of the device "AFS" is advisable to use in the daily practice of a dentist, as it allows for the initial examination of the mucous membrane to differentiate inflammatory and neoplastic processes.
