“…Like the previously reported studies, smoking did not significantly worsen the khat-induced oral histopathological changes. Al-Maweri et al, (2017) reported that among 547 khat users, the presence of premalignant oral lesion was significantly associated p<0.001) with khat chewing only (without smoking).…”

“…Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa with a risk of malignant transformation 1,2 . OLP affects women more than men, 3,4 with an estimated global prevalence of 0.89% among the general population 1 . The most common affected site is the buccal mucosa, followed by the tongue and gingiva 3 .…”

Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common inflammatory disease, with unclear etiology. A number of studies have linked Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) with OLP. The present systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the available evidence regarding the potential association between EBV and OLP. Methods Online databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar) were searched from date of inception till May 2020. Studies were included if they met the following criteria: 1) observational studies that assessed the relationship between EBV and OLP, 2) the study comprised OLP patients and control subjects, 3) diagnosis of OLP was confirmed histopathologically, and 4) articles were in English. Studies without control groups, experimental studies, case reports, and reviews were excluded. The fixed‐effects model was performed for meta‐analyses using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 10 studies comprising 386 OLP cases and 304 controls were included. Of these, only 8 studies were eligible for the meta‐analysis. The results of the quality assessment showed that only 2 studies were of high quality, while the remaining studies were of moderate quality. The results of the pooled eight studies revealed a significant positive association between EBV and OLP (OR = 4.41, 95% CI: [2.74, 7.11], P < .0001). Conclusion The results of the present systematic review suggest that EBV infection is statistically associated with increased risk of OLP. However, these results are preliminary, and high‐quality, large‐scale studies are warranted to further explore the potential role of EBV in the pathogenesis of OLP.

“…The etiopathogenesis of OC is quite complex and multifactorial, but the most critical risk factors associated with the disease include tobacco use, excess alcohol consumption, sun exposure (for lip cancer), advanced age, papilloma virus (especially for oropharyngeal cancers) and genetic predisposition [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Background: Age is known to be a risk factor for oral cancer; older patients visit prosthodontists very regularly, so the prosthodontists may help in the prevention and early detection of any suspicious mucosal alteration in this high-risk group. The aim of this study was to assess the beliefs, experiences and practices of prosthodontists regarding oral cancer screening. Method: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey was conducted on prosthodontists practicing in Saudi Arabia. A 26-item questionnaire was sent to all eligible prosthodontists (n=250). The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Results: The response rate was 57.2% (n=143). The majority of participants (79.70%) reported that they routinely examine all new patients for mucosal pathologies. However, only 58% reported that they examine their patients at recall visits, and only 61.5% stated that they provide tobacco cessation advice. With regard to the respondents experiences with suspicious mucosal lesions, the majority said that they had detected a suspicious lesion (79.9%) and had referred affected patients (83.2 %) during their career. Unfortunately, just 65% of prosthodontists believed that they could detect oral cancer on their own, and only 40% believed that they could influence their patients to quit smoking. A lack of training, confidence, time and financial incentives were reported as barriers to oral cancer screening. Conclusion: Most of the prosthostontists surveyed in this study seem motivated to perform routine oral mucosal screening. However, more efforts are needed to help improve the attidtudes, confidence and skills of prosthodontists when it comes to identifying and referring suspicious oral mucosal lesions.
