The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in an elderly population



JS Hand and JM Whitehill

In a population of 629, 145 elderly subjects had at least one mucosal lesion; 27% of denture wearers had a denture-related lesion. Lesions were found most commonly on the palate, followed by the lips. Increasing age was the only significant factor in the risk of soft tissue enlargement.
