Demographic and behavioural profiles of patients with common oral mucosal lesions by a homogeneity analysis

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the main oral mucosal lesions (OMLs) within a hospital base and to provide an anamnestic, diagnostic model based on homogeneity analysis of some variables. Methods: The demographic and behavioural data (i.e. gender, age, smoking status, alcohol consumption and therapeutic drug usage) of 1753 patients with at least one OML were considered.

Statistical significance of P<0.05 was chosen. Results: With r…
