Abstract

BACKGROUND

The tongue is known as the mirror of oral and general health. Some diseases may show signs in the tongue. Fissured is approximately an asymptomatic condition characterized by grooves and fissures of varying depth on the dorsal surface of the tongue. Epidemiologically, its prevalence is varied based on different factors, but most of them report 10-20%.

METHODS

In the department of oral medicine at Ali-Abad University Hospital of Kabul University of Medical Sciences, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 patients. This fissured tongue is first diagnosed based on clinical appearance (fissures) on each side of tongue. Meanwhile, the whole medical and dental histories were taken for the rest of the leading factors.

RESULTS

Out of 400 patients (124 males and 276 females) seen and checked, which 142 cases were fissured tongue [45 (31.7%) males and 97 (68.3%) females]. The fissures were found to be least in the >10 - 19-year age group, 23 (16.3%) and it was most prevalent in the 20 -39 age group, 73 (51.8%), followed by 40 -59, 35 (24.8%) and 60< age group, 10 (7.1%). The most prevalent type of pattern of fissures was found to be superficial, multiple and not connected fissures, 46.32% (33.3% males, 32.3% females), followed by superficial, multiple and connected fissures, 25.5% (26.7% males, 25% females), and whereas 6.4% of patients with (single and deep type of fissure) was the lowest prevalent type of fissured tongue. In our study, more than half of patients asymptomatic (51.6% females and 71.1% males), 17.9% complained from tongue dryness, 14.3% soreness, 6.4% halitosis, 1.4% tongue swelling and 2.1% had all the signs.

CONCLUSION

The prevalence of fissured tongue was 35.5%. A significant difference between genders was reported with female predominance in all cases observed. The most prevalent age groups were 20-29 and 30-39 in both gender groups. Superficial, multiple, and not connected fissures 46.32% were the most common type of fissure.

摘要

背景

舌头被称为口腔和全身健康的镜子。一些疾病可能会在舌头上表现出症状。沟纹舌是一种大致无症状的病症，其特征是舌背表面有不同深度的沟和裂纹。从流行病学角度来看，其患病率因不同因素而异，但大多数报告显示为10%-20%。

方法

在喀布尔医科大学阿里-阿巴德大学医院口腔医学科，对400名患者进行了一项横断面研究。这种沟纹舌首先根据舌头两侧的临床表现（裂纹）进行诊断。同时，针对其他主要因素获取了完整的医学和牙科病史。

结果

在400名接受检查的患者中（124名男性和276名女性），有142例为沟纹舌[45例（31.7%）男性和97例（68.3%）女性]。发现裂纹在10-19岁年龄组中最少，为23例（16.3%），在20-39岁年龄组中最为普遍，为73例（51.8%），其次是40-59岁年龄组，为35例（24.8%），60岁以上年龄组为10例（7.1%）。最常见的裂纹类型是浅表、多发且不相连的裂纹，占46.32%（男性占33.3%，女性占32.3%），其次是浅表、多发且相连的裂纹，占25.5%（男性占26.7%，女性占25%），而单一且深型裂纹的患者占6.4%，是沟纹舌中最不常见的类型。在我们的研究中，超过一半的患者无症状（女性占51.6%，男性占71.1%），17.9%的患者抱怨舌头干燥，14.3%的患者有疼痛，6.4%的患者有口臭，1.4%的患者舌头肿胀，2.1%的患者有所有这些症状。
