“…We selectively reduced the criteria for validity to seven main methodologic standards that define a case-control study of acceptable epidemiologic quality: (1) histologic confirmation of cancer; (2) use of incident cases; (3) population-based cases; (4) equal exclusions of controls; (5) population-based controls; (6) exposure to mouthwash use before the cancer diagnosis; and (7) adjustments or restrictions for tobacco, alcohol, or both. These criteria are further described in the following sections.…”

“…Indeed, some investigators have suggested that nearly 75% of these malignancies in the United States are attributable to tobacco and alcohol exposure 2 . Oral conditions, such as poor dentition, insufficient oral hygiene, and lichen planus, have also been suspected as contributing to the risk of oral and pharyngeal cancer 6‐9 . More recently, the regular use of mouthwash, especially among nonusers of tobacco and alcohol, has also been proposed as a risk factor for oral cancer.…”

“…Furthermore, nutritional deficiency and poor oral hygiene with misaligned dentition have also been identified as causative factors ( 25 – 27 ). A number of prior studies have also examined associations between dental prostheses, including metal crowns, bridges and prostheses, and the development of OTSCC ( 2 , 28 – 30 ). Hougeir et al ( 5 ) proposed that an oral metal-contact allergy was a factor that influenced the development of OTSCC.…”

Potential factors influencing the development of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma in young mature patients: Lingual position of the mandibular second molar and narrow tongue space

et al. 2017

The lingual position of the mandibular second molar and narrow tongue space are associated with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) development in young mature patients. The present study aimed to assess the role of the mandibular second molar position and tongue space in young mature patients with OTSCC. The medical records of 21 patients with OTSCC aged <50 years, who had an intact mandibular second molar and had undergone computed tomography (CT) imaging between April 2009 and December 2015 at the Section of Maxillofacial Surgery in Tokyo Medical and Dental University, were retrospectively examined. As controls, 21 sex-matched patients of a similar age to the patients in the OTSCC group, and with a height and weight within 5% of those of the OTSCC group, were collected. The location of the mandibular second molar on the affected side and area of the tongue space were determined using coronal and axial CT images. Mann-Whitney U test analysis revealed that the location of the mandibular second molar and the area of the tongue space differed significantly between young mature patients with OTSCC and the controls. The present study thus revealed that the lingual position of the mandibular second molar and the narrow tongue space may be potential factors influencing OTSCC development in young maturity.

“… 21 , 22 Lockhart et al 18 observed 28 intraoral malignancies in the contact area of either the teeth or prosthetic appliances; moreover, all 10 patients with SCC of the tongue were associated with a flange extension of a lower denture. Kinnebrew et al 19 reviewed a case of a 25-year-old woman with SCC of the tongue and concluded that the lesion was physically associated with a metallurgically-flawed gold crown that had been used for 15 years. However, Albuquerque et al 22 concluded that dentures are not an etiologic factor for SCC of the tongue, since no definitive association between SCC of the tongue and denture use was demonstrated.…”

Relationship between squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and the position of dental prosthesis

et al. 2015

PURPOSESquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue has a relatively high incidence of all oral cancers. Some studies have reported a relationship between intraoral dental prosthesis and SCC of the tongue; however, this relationship remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between SCC of the tongue and the positional aspects of dental prosthesis using a retrospective analysis.MATERIALS AND METHODSA total of 439 patients with SCC of the tongue were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Patients were treated over a 12.5-year period ranging from January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2013. Statistical analysis was performed to examine potential differences between the groups.RESULTSThe number of patients with a crown and/or a bridge (134, 63.5%) was significantly different than the number of patients without a prosthesis (77, 36.5%). Even after accounting for different types of prostheses such as crowns, bridges, and dentures, no significant differences were observed between the position of the prosthesis and the location of the SCC of the tongue, with significance defined as a P-value less than .05 by the Pearson-Chi square test.CONCLUSIONPatients with crowns and/or bridges exhibited more frequent SCC of the tongue compared with patients without these prosthesis. These data support the hypothesis that mechanical trauma and galvanic phenomena play a role in the etiology of SCC of the tongue.
