“…11,12 This rate is less when compared with 44.1% reported by Reddy et al 13 Oral leukoplakia (14.75%) and OSMF (9.3%) were the prevalent oral mucosal lesions found in participants who had those habits, which is similar with the studies conducted by Prashant B Patil (8.2 and 7.1% respectively). 14 Our study confirmed the fact that tobacco chewing is the strongest risk for precancerous lesions.…”

Aim: The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of tobacco use and associated oral mucosal lesions among construction workers of Cochin, Kerala, India. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional study was carried at various construction sites of Cochin and 2,163 workers were selected using multistage sampling method and were interviewed and examined. Information regarding demographic details, form, type, frequency of tobacco use, earlier attempt to quit, and willingness to quit tobacco use was obtained using predesigned questionnaire. The oral health status was recorded on the World Health Organization oral health assessment form 1997, and the examination was carried out under natural light using mouth mirrors and probe. Data thus collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 17 (Chicago, Illinois, USA) statistical software package. Chisquare test was applied.Results: Among the 2,163 workers, 1,952 were tobacco users and 211 were nonusers. Among the users, 1,021 use smokeless form, 372 use smoked form, and 559 use both. Premalignant lesions/conditions were more commonly seen with tobacco habit, with leukoplakia (14.75%) being the most common followed by oral submucous fibrosis in 201 (9.3%), candidiasis in 123 (5.7%), ulceration in 131 (6.05%), abscess in 59 (2.73%),

“…35 Unsurprisingly, clinically detectable oral mucosal changes are common in tobacco chewers-for example, arising in nearly half from a sample of adults from low-income groups in India. 36 Some lesions, such as oral lichen planus, are unlikely, however, despite being potentially malignant, to be caused by smokeless (or indeed smoked) tobacco. A cohort study reported that a 6-week cessation of smokeless tobacco habit in young males caused resolution of almost all instances of leukoplakia.…”

Potentially malignant oral mucosal disease has some ability to give rise to malignancy of the oral epithelium, that is, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The present article provides a succinct review of the possible or probable causes of potentially premalignant oral epithelial lesions. There is a focus upon studies that examined the causes or etiologic associations with clinically likely or histopathologically detectable oral epithelial dysplasia.

Çiğnemelik tütün kullananlarda ağız hijyenin bozulması ile sıklık sırasına göre mukozit, submukozal fibrozis, lökoplaki, lökomoid reaksiyon, oral kanser ve liken planus görülebilmektedir (24) .
