Abstract

The oral mucosa plays a crucial protective role as a natural barrier to exogenous substances and pathogens. Tobacco in any form, either smoked or smokeless, can cause a broad spectrum of oral mucosal alterations, ranging from harmless to more serious dysplastic and carcinomatous lesions. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Oral Mucosal Lesions (OMLs) in adult patients who do and do not use tobacco, their habits, and the relative risk of developing oral lesions associated with these habits.
