Tobacco smoking is one of the most important risk factors for the development of oral mucosal lesions such as leukoplakia and hairy tongue. Controversy exists in the literature, however, about the prevalence of oral lesions in smokers. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral lesions in male smokers compared with nonsmokers in Hamadan. A total of 516 male participants were assessed, 258 of whom were smokers and 258 of whom were healthy nonsmokers. The prevalence of lesions was evaluated by clinical observation and biopsy. We found that the most prevalent lesions among smokers were gingival problems and coated tongue; smokers had significantly more lesions than did nonsmokers. Malignant and premalignant lesions were found in a higher age range. Among all participants in our study, we found a large number of oral mucosal lesions in smokers that had a strong correlation with smoking. Dental services need to implement care and health education for smokers to promote health.
吸烟是口腔黏膜病变（如白斑和毛舌）发展的最重要风险因素之一。然而，关于吸烟者口腔病变的患病率，文献中存在争议。本研究的目的是评估哈马丹男性吸烟者与非吸烟者的口腔病变情况。总共评估了516名男性参与者，其中258名是吸烟者，258名是健康非吸烟者。通过临床观察和活检评估病变的患病率。我们发现吸烟者中最常见的病变是牙龈问题和舌苔增厚；吸烟者的病变明显多于非吸烟者。恶性和癌前病变在较高年龄范围内被发现。在我们研究的所有参与者中，我们发现吸烟者中有大量口腔黏膜病变，且与吸烟有很强的相关性。牙科服务需要为吸烟者实施护理和健康教育以促进健康。
