During a consultation, a 45-year-old chronic smoker presents with a whitish lesion on the floor of the mouth, approximately 1 cm in diameter, painless and without signs of inflammation. The lesion has been present for about three months without regression. The dentist performs an incisional biopsy for histopathological analysis, suspecting a potentially malignant lesion. Considering the clinical context and the principles of stomatological diagnosis, evaluate the following statements:

A painless, persistent whitish lesion of traumatic origin usually resolves spontaneously after the removal of the causal agent, without the need for additional tests.

The differential diagnosis should include leukoplakia, which is a potentially malignant whitish lesion, especially in smokers, requiring histopathological analysis for confirmation.

The history of smoking is not relevant for the diagnosis of oral lesions, as these changes are commonly associated with autoimmune disorders and nutritional deficiencies.

White lesions on the oral mucosa of long duration are often signs of chronic candidiasis and can initially be treated with topical antifungals, without the need for biopsy.
