Case Reports

Intraoral leukoplakia, abrasion, periodontal breakdown, and tooth loss in a snuff dipper



AG Christen, WR Armstrong, and RK McDaniel

Dentists should be aware that snuff dipping or chewing is increasing in southern states and perhaps in other sections of the United States. These habits can lead to clinical leukoplakia, gingival recession, tooth abrasion, and periodontal bone destruction. The possibility also exists that a malignant transformation of leukoplakia can develop in persons who use snuff and other forms of tobacco.
