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.

“…The lesion in men and women displayed equal prevalence, also reported by others [17, 19]. Others again have found the tongue lesion more prevalent in men [18, 20] even up to the point of 3/1 (men/women) [20]. Fissured tongue has been associated with some general pathological conditions [21-23].…”

“…In this sense, our incidence (8.7%) is lower than that recorded in earlier surveys (53, 54). According to most authors, the prevalence of plicated tongue ranges from 5 to 7% (21, 23, 55), with higher figures being reported among the Hungarian (8.8%) (54), Jordanian (11.4%) (21) and Ljubljana populations (21.1%) (13). The prevalence of plicated tongue in our series (3.9%) is very similar to the 3.8% reported in Sweden (10).…”

“…In this sense, some have involved patients seen in dental schools (19–21), while others are based on patients screened for pulmonary pathology (11), or on workers involved in certain occupational activities (22). There are also differences in the selection of the patient age and range; some studies involve students (23), while others investigate subjects over 65 (8) or institutionalized patients (18, 24).…”

“…Coğrafik dağılım hastalığın prevalansı ile ilişkili olabilecek niteliktedir. Örneğin Amerikan okul çağı toplumunda oldukça nadir görülen bu durum Kuzey Avrupa ülkelerinde %8,4'e ulaşabilmektedir 8 .
