BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a common inflammatory papulosquamous disease of the skin with unknown aetiology that may be associated with the abnormal T-cell function.AIM: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and their associations with severity of psoriasis in psoriatic patients attending the dermatologic clinic of Shahid Beheshti Teaching Hospital at Kashan, Iran.METHODS: In this cross-sectional descriptive analytic study, all consecutive patients with psoriasis who referred to the dermatologic clinic at the Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Kashan University of Medical Sciences in Kashan City/ Iran were enrolled. All patients were examined for the presence of oral lesions, and the clinical and epidemiological features of the disease were recorded in a questionnaire for each patient. A biopsy was taken from atypical suspected patients with oral lesions by an expert dermatologist. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (Version 18). Descriptive statistics tests; Cross tabulation and Chi-square with Fisher's exact test were used.RESULTS: Of total 177 psoriatic patients, 62 cases (35%) of patients were male, and 115 cases (65%) were female. Mean age of patients was 31.71 years. The oral lesion was seen in 83 cases (46.9%). Fissure tongue (28.2%) and geographic tongue (4.5%) were the most common oral lesions. The prevalence of oral lesions in patients with psoriasis significantly was associated with age, history of oral lesions, and with the onset of the oral lesions (P < 0.05). The most common form of psoriasis was chronic plaque form (Psoriasis Vulgaris) observed in 147 cases (83.1). The majority of patients (67.2%) were suffering from a mild form of the disease. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of most patients was mild.CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of oral lesions such as Fissure tongue and geographic tongue is higher in psoriatic patients suggests further studies for approving the clinical importance of these apparently nonspecific lesions as possible predictors or markers of the severity of the cases suspected to Psoriasis disease.

The mucosal membrane of the oral cavity displays at times classical developmental lesions considered to be variations of normal structures rather than having disease characteristics. Of these lesions leukoedema, Fordyce granules, geographic-, fissured- and hairy tongue, median rhomboid glossitis and lingual varices were studied in 598 patients referred to the School of Dentistry, Tehran, Iran. The prevalence was studied in relation to age, gender, occupation, education, smoking habits, general health, addictions and or drug therapies. Oral developmental lesions were seen in 295 patients (49.3%). Only Fordyce granules (27,9%), fissured tongue (12,9%), leukoedema (12,5%) and hairy tongue (8,9%) had enough cases for statistical analysis. Three of these lesions increased with age but not fissured tongue. All were more common in men. After adjusting for age, the parameters education, occupation and complaints upon referral had little influence on the prevalence of the lesions. Fewer Fordyce granules were seen in oral mucosa of smoking men. Leukoedema and hairy tongue were significantly associated with smoking, leukoedema with diabetes mellitus. We conclude that there was a highly significant association between these oral lesions and age, gender and smoking. Few significant associations were found between oral lesions and general diseases.

Background: Oral mucosa reflects the general health of an individual. In certain systemic diseases oral cavity may be affected first or it could the only clue to diagnosis. Hence skin examination is never complete without the examination of mucosae. Aims and objectives were to find out the frequency and diversity of oral mucosal lesions in patients attending Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy (DVL) outpatient department (OPD).Methods: This was a hospital based observational study. All patients with oral mucosal lesions fulfilling the inclusion &exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Detailed history, physical examination and clinical photographs were recorded for all the patients.Results: The prevalence oral mucosal lesions among dermatological patients is 1.04% with a female predilection and the mean age was 38.44±17.30. Majority of the patients belonged to the age group of 31-60 years. Established risk factors for developing oral lesions like tobacco and beetle nut use was found in only 24% and 16% of the patients respectively. Twenty% (21%) of the patients were diabetic and the commonest oral lesions in them was oral candidiasis. Eighteen% (18%) of the patients presented with only oral complaints, while 82% of patients came with skin complaints and their oral lesions were incidental findings. Out of 82 patients with dermatological diseases specific mucocutaneous diseases were seen in 44% of patients. Most common dermatological diseases seen were vitiligo, lichen planus and pemphigus vulgaris.Conclusions: Knowing the prevalence of oral lesions as a part of mucocutaneous disorders would help sensitise other specialities the need to examine oral cavity in order to attain appropriate and early diagnosis.

Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and clinical features of pigmented oral lesions from Thailand. Materials and Methods Biopsy records of the Department of Oral Pathology, Chulalongkorn University, Department of Oral Diagnosis, KhonKaen University, Department of Oral Biology and Oral Diagnostic Sciences, Chiangmai University, Department of Stomatology, Prince of Songkla University, and Rangsit University were reviewed for oral pigmented lesions diagnosed during 1999 to 2019. Demographic data were culled from the biopsy records. Ages of the patients were subdivided into 10-year intervals. Locations of the lesions were classified as gingiva, labial/buccal mucosa, palate, floor of the mouth, tongue, as well as the combination of sites. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS version 20.0. Results Of the 47,175 accessioned cases, 241 cases (0.51%) were diagnosed in the category of pigmented oral lesions. The age of the patients ranged from 1 month to 88 years with the mean ± standard deviation = 38.74 ± 20.96 years. Regarding gender, 172 patients (71.37%) with pigmented lesions were females, while 69 patients (28.63%) were males. The female-to-male ratio was 2.49:1. The majority of the pigmented lesions were encountered at the gingiva (29.88%) followed by labial/buccal mucosa (26.97%), palate (14.94%), lip (10.79%), alveolar mucosa (9.54%), and others (7.88%), respectively. The three most common pigmented oral lesions in the present study were nevus (39.83%), followed by melanotic macule (28.63%) and amalgam tattoo (17.43%), respectively. Conclusions The most common pigmented oral lesion in the present study is nevus. Demographic data of the patients in the present study are in accordance with previous studies with minor differences. Even though pigmented lesions of the oral cavity constitute a small portion of the oral pathology biopsies, accurate diagnosis is important since there is an overlap in clinical appearance of benign pigmented lesions and melanoma.

Introduction: The use of e cigarettes is on the rise in the Middle East Countries and Saudi Arabia especially.This study aims to evaluate the oral mucosal lesions caused due to electronic cigarette smoking (ECS) use and oral health, including ‘gingival pain and/or bleeding’, ‘tongue and/or inside-cheek pain’, and ‘cracked or broken teeth’ among adolescents. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted among 1300 participant in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a reliable and valid online questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed by the investigators and Google forms were used to collect the information. The questions were grouped into categories relating to socio-demographic data (age, gender), type of cigarette smoking (conventional, E-cigarette or booth), and cigarette smoking behavior (frequency). Results: It was observed from the present study that even though oral mucosal lesions were more in conventional cigarette smokers but e cigarettes were not the safe option as it has ill effects also. Females used e cigarettes more (30.7%) as compared to males (28.2%). Statistically significant results were obtained for change in color of gingival, disturbed feeling in the tongue (p<0.000). Conclusion: The usage of e cigarettes was seen more among females than males. The oral health effects and especially the change in color, dryness of the oral cavity and discoloration of the teeth were seen more with the conventional cigarettes users than the e cigarettes users. E cigarettes were also associated with ill effects of the oral cavity.

Purpose – Mucosal lesions of the oral cavity are common findings at dental clinic worldwide. Regardless of the severity and diagnosis, oral mucosal lesions (OMLs) affect an individual’s general health, as the oral cavity serves as the main route for nutrients intake that is crucial for human survival. Data on the prevalence and distribution of OMLs is imperative to aid in the diagnosis and management of OMLs. The aim of the present study was to determine the distribution of OMLs amongst patients attending dental clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (Hospital USM). Design and methodology - A cross-sectional study using secondary data was conducted. Dental records of patients receiving oral examination and treatment in dental clinic from January to December 2014 were obtained. Data were analysed using Chi-square test. Throughout 2014, 43 records of patients presented with OMLs were obtained. Findings - The most common lesion was ulcerative lesions (37.3%), followed by oral lichen planus (27.4%). Patients with exophytic lesions contributed 15.7%, while candida-related lesion and keratotic lesion contributed 11.8% and 7.8% respectively. Except for keratotic lesion, which was significantly associated with smoking, none other OMLs were associated with any of the risk habits (smoking, betel quid chewing or alcohol consumption). Originality/Value - Data from this study serve as a basis for OMLs epidemiology studies on larger scale that will further aid in the detection, diagnosis and better management of the oral lesions. Findings from this study further emphasize the importance of quit-smoking program to reduce the risk of developing oral keratotic lesion, among other diseases that have been associated with smoking habit.

Kebiasaan menyirih telah dilakukan sejak dahulu kala di Indonesia, khususnya pada suku Papua. Banyak anggapan masyarakat bahwa menyirih dapat menguatkan gigi geligi dan menghambat terjadinya karies, namun dibalik dampak positif dari menyirih ini, ada juga dampak negatifnya berupa timbulnya lesi pada mukosa yang melapisi rongga mulut.Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk memperoleh gambaran kebiasaan menyirih pada mahasiswa Papua di Kota Manado, mencakup: tujuan menyirih, bahan campuran menyirih, lamanya kebiasaan menyirih, frekuensi menyirih, dan faktor pendorong kebiasaan menyirih serta untuk mengetahui gambaran lesi mukosa mulut pada mahasiswa Papua di Kota Manado.Jenis penelitian ini yaitu penelitian desktiptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional study. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan ialah total sampling dengan jumlah sampel 30 orang. Dari 30 subjek yang diperiksa, sebagian besar merupakan wanita, usia 17-27 tahun. Lamanya menyirih terbanyak 6-10 tahun, dengan frekuensi terbanyak 1-3 kali sehari, bahan campuran menyirih yang paling banyak digunakan ialah campuran sirih, pinang dan kapur. Faktor pendorong utama menyirih yakni karena keinginan sendiri, dimana tujuan menyirih terbanyak yakni agar gigi menjadi kuat dan sehat. Dari 30 subjek ada 29 orang (96,66%) memiliki lesi dalam rongga mulutnya. Lesi yang diduga sebagai Oral Submucous Fibrosis yakni sebanyak 90% dan lesi yang diduga sebagai Betel Chewers Mucosa sebanyak 6,66%.Kata kunci: Kebiasaan menyirih, lesi mukosa mulut, Oral Submucous Fibrosis, Betel Chewer’s MucosaABSTRACTBetel chewing as a habit has been done since a long time ago in Indonesia, especially in Papua. There are some public perceptions that betel chewing can strengthen teeth and prevent caries. But, behind the positive effect of betel chewing, there are negative effects too, such as the onset of lesions in the oral mucosa.The purpose of this research is to get an overview of betel chewing habit on Papuan students in Manado, including the purpose of betel chewing, the complete material of betel chewing, duration of betel chewing, frequency of betel chewing, the driving factor of betel chewing, and to get an overview on oral mucosal lesions on Papuan students in Manado.The type of this research is descriptive research with a cross - sectional study. The sampling technique is total sampling with a sample size of 30 people. The 30 examined subjects, mostly women with age ranging from 17-27 years. The most length of chewing from 6-10 years, with the highest frequency of chewing 1-3 times a day, the average mixture of betel commonly used is betel, areca nut and slaked lime. The major driving factor in betel chewing is their own desire and the most common purpose is to get a strong and healthy teeth. 29 of 30 subjects (96,66%) have lesions in the oral cavity. In 90% of the sample, expected as Oral Submucous Fibrosis and in 6,66% expected as Betel Chewer’s Mucosa.Keyword: Betel chewing habit, oral mucosal lesions, Oral Submucous Fibrosis, Betel Chewer’s Mucosa
