Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Most oral problems are caused by local diseases and are adequately managed by the dental team. However, general diseases may aggravate these problems, or can be the primary cause of oral lesions. The subtle changes of serious disease, such as precancer, may lie silently under the tongue or in the retromolar area, and a world of disordered function can be found in any oral lesion if one has eyes to see it. Present study was conducted on 50 cases presenting with ulcerative or membranous lesions, attending O.P.D in ENT department of Teaching and General Hospital and cases referred from other departments. The commonest age group was 21-30 years, majority of malignant oral ulcerative lesions were found among 50-70 years and premalignant were among 38-45 involving even 13 and 75 years. In the present series 56% were males and females 44%. Premalignant and malignant conditions were more in males may be because of habits of chewing tobacco, smoking and alcoholism which is common in males than females.
