Treatments tested in this trial
High Resolution Microendoscope (HRME)

Optical Mapping Scope
DeviceThe 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.
Proflavine hemisulfate
DrugA 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
