The authors studied the findings from the clinical examination of the oral cavity of one hundred drug addicts that were prisoners at Korydalos prison, in order to evaluate the incidence and the possible correlation of these findings to the drug abuse. This study revealed that drug addicts present lesions of the oral mucosa such as redness of the pharyngeal mucosa (57%), melanchromatic spots on the lips (35%) and hairy tongue (57%). Also, a high incidence of carious lesions was found (46%), of missing teeth (42%) and of periodontal disease (57%). These percentages are much higher than those found in a random population. It was also revealed that in the above group there was a high incidence of serum hepatitis (23%) and of AIDS (8%), while other systemic diseases were also found.
作者对100名在科里达洛斯监狱服刑的吸毒成瘾囚犯的口腔进行了临床检查，以评估这些检查结果的发生率及其与药物滥用之间可能存在的关联。该研究显示，吸毒成瘾者存在口腔黏膜病变，如咽黏膜发红（57%）、嘴唇上的黑斑（35%）和毛舌（57%）。此外，还发现龋齿病变（46%）、牙齿缺失（42%）和牙周病（57%）的发生率很高。这些百分比远高于在随机人群中发现的比例。研究还发现，上述人群中血清性肝炎的发生率很高（23%），艾滋病的发生率也很高（8%），同时还发现了其他全身性疾病。
