A BSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the prevalence and types of oral lesions in patients with psoriasis and analyze their association with disease duration and severity. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 psoriatic patients who underwent standardized oral examinations. Clinical data, disease severity (PASI), and oral findings were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results: Oral lesions were present in 38% of patients, most frequently fissured tongue (20%) and geographic tongue (10%). Lesion prevalence was significantly associated with longer disease duration and higher PASI scores ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Oral lesions are common in psoriasis and correlate with disease severity and chronicity. Routine oral screening in psoriatic patients may aid in early detection and comprehensive care.
