| Popis: | Objective. This report investigates a possible correlation between chronic use of Viadent products and the subsequent development of leukoplakia in the maxillary vestibule. Study Design. A retrospective review of 88 patients with leukoplakia of the maxillary vestibule is presented. Prevalence of Viadent use was determined in this group and in a group of 100 randomly selected adults who presented themselves for routine preadmission screening at a dental school. Results. Of the patients diagnosed with leukoplakia of the maxillary vestibule, 84.1% reported having used Viadent, whereas the prevalence of use was only 3% in the 100 randomly selected adults. Conclusions. Use of Viadent products appears to be associated with an increased prevalence of leukoplakia in the maxillary vestibule. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 1999;87:61-6) |
