KHKatrin Hertrampf FZFabian Zimmermann FSFalk Schwendicke

Key Points

This research focuses on the documentation and correlation of oral mucosal lesions in seniors with tobacco consumption.
Conducted as part of the 6th German Oral Health Study
Included an analysis of both malignant and non-malignant lesions
Evaluated the risk of degeneration in different lesions
Identified significant cases of leukoplakia and oral lichen planus among seniors
Established a correlation between tobacco consumption and the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions
Noted the underreporting of non-malignant lesions in epidemiological studies

Abstract

Documentation of malignant lesions plays an important role in research and for those affected. However, non-malignant lesions, such as leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, and smoker's keratosis should also be documented in epidemiologic studies, particularly their risk of degeneration and correlation with tobacco consumption.
