P. N. Sinor,Prakash C. Gupta,P. R. Murti,R. B. Bhonsle,D. K. Daftary,F. S. Mehta,J. J. Pindborg +6 more
TL;DR: Areca nut is confirmed as the most important etiologic factor in oral submucous fibrosis and the relative risks increased with increase in the frequency as well as the duration of chewing habits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malignant potential of oral lichen planus: observations in 722 patients from India.
TL;DR: The malignant potential of oral lichen planus was assessed on the basis of observations in 722 patients found among 27,599 individuals examined in various epidemiologic studies in Kerala, Ernakulam district, India and the disease did not appear to be innocuous either.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cessation of tobacco use on the incidence of oral mucosal lesions in a 10-yr follow-up study of 12,212 users.
TL;DR: The reported association between tobacco use and lichen planus appears to be indirect but for all other lesions it is direct implying a reduced risk for oral cancer after cessation of tobacco use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prakash C. Gupta,F. S. Mehta,Jens J. Pindborg,R. B. Bhonsle,P. R. Murti,D. K. Daftary,Mira B. Aghi +6 more
TL;DR: The stoppage of tobacco use increased and the incidence rate of leukoplakia decreased significantly and substantially in the intervention cohort compared to the control cohort, indicative of the decrease in the risk of oral cancer.
