Abstract
Background: Premalignant oral lesions are at a great risk of developing oral cancers. Early detection of these lesions will have good prognosis and it is life-saving. This study aimed at finding risk factors for development of these lesions. Aim and objective: to study the various pre-malignant oral lesions and factors associated with it at tertiary health care centre. Methodology: 330 patients visiting surgical OPD with oral lesions were studied. These cases were studied as per WHO criteria for potentially malignant diseases. Data collection was done with pretested questionnaire. Data included sociodemographic data, detailed history and clinical examination. Various risk factors, site of involvement and grades of dysplasia were recorded. Data analysed with appropriate statistical tests. Results: Out of all 330 patients 44 patients showed premalignant oral lesions. Mean age of the patient was 45.16± 3.5 years. Male to female ratio was 2.1:1. Most commonly observed premalignant lesion was leukoplakia (68.17%) followed by oral lichen planus (13.67%). Tobacco chewing was most commonly observed in both males(21) and females(12). Most commonly involved site for premalignant oral lesions was bucal mucosa (54.54%) followed by tongue (27.27%).
