Abstract
Premalignant lesions of the oral cavity represent an important target for cancer prevention. They can be detected by visual inspection and their importance derives from the high proportion of cases in which biopsy reveals dysplasia or even frank carcinoma. The strongest risk factors for these oral lesions are use of inhaled tobacco, chewing substitutes that usually include tobacco such as pan masala and betel nut quid and alcohol, Smoking and Chewing Tobacco.
The prevalence of oral precancerous lesions varies in different countries and suggests a variance from as much as 25% to as little as 0.2%. In India it is estimated that 195 million people use tobacco, 62.46 million use alcohol. The incidence of oral mucosal lesions depends on the method, duration, frequency and intensity of use.
