Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions among geriatric dental patients in Egypt: A cross-sectional study
In the present study, the prevalence of oral lesions in geriatric patients was 59.3%. The most prevalent OML in the studied population was coated tongue, and the least frequent was oral cancer. OMLs had a profound impact on the quality of life. The prevalence of OMLs was found to be strongly linked to systemic diseases, heavy smoking, and male gender.
