The most commonly occurring type of keratosis would be tobacco pouch keratosis or smokeless tobacco associated keratosis, frictional keratosis, a chronic frictional keratosis on the buccal mucosa can lead to something called morscicatio buccarum. Although clinical features are very important and should be one of the important factors in diagnosis, epidemiology should also be considered while arriving at a concrete diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to retrospectively analyze the prevalence of different clinical variants of Keratosis in patients visiting Saveetha Dental College. Retrospective data of 195 patients was obtained and segregated. Inclusion criteria included that they should have visited the University between June 2019 and April 2020. Once the data was obtained and verified, it was statistically analyzed using SPSS by IBM version 20. Most common clinical variant was Tobacco pouch Keratosis (64.6%) followed by Frictional Keratosis (28.7%). Mean age of the patients was 37.40 + or -10.98 years. Tobacco pouch keratosis occurring most commonly in lower arch (67.46%) whereas the Frictional keratosis most commonly in relation to both arches (42.85%). All common in 21-30 years age group. Statistically significant correlation between the site of lesion and variant (p = 0.000) and between gender and variant (p=0.00 ) Increased Habit Prevalence as the number of Tobacco pouch Keratosis cases are greater. Further multicentered studies and awareness programs to help the society and prevent these lesions.

Women smoking is looked down upon by Indian society. However, a young woman smoking is not a rare sight on college campuses in metro cities. Substantial body of literature indicates that nicotine is the major component which leads to addiction. The habit which starts to look cool and fashionable in no time becomes an addiction. Indian society, which doesn’t acknowledge that women are indulging in smoking, makes the whole fight about tobacco addiction a turbulent journey. As society doesn’t accept that women smoke, there is no need to create awareness about its gendered impact. The study was undertaken by evaluating the oromucosal conditions and haemoglobin levels of 100 women smokers. Smokers’ palate, smoking associated pigmentation on lips and calculus deposits were observed in most of the participants. The participants were not aware about the hormonal issues and detrimental side effects of smoking to their health.

Background: Tobacco use is called the single most cause of preventable cause of death all over the world. The various study confirmed that smokeless tobacco use is directly related to oral cancer and pre-cancer. The prevalence of smokeless tobacco use varies widely in different countries and states based on age group, gender, with varied socioeconomic, cultural and educational backgrounds. Context: Bengali female population. Aim: Explore the pattern of smokeless tobacco use and oral mucosal changes caused by it. Methods: 155 women aged 15 years and above were selected. Face-to-face interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire. Data were summarized and statistically, analysis was done. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square test and univariate logistic regression done. Results: The prevalence of current smokeless tobacco use was found to be 18.7%. On univariate logistic regression, it was found that there was a significant association between smokeless tobacco use and less educated females, odds ratio 0.4209 (0.1855–0.9550) family income less than 10,000, odds ratio 3.9773 (1.3047–12.1242), and oral changes odds ratio 0.2693 (0.1027–0.7061). Conclusions: Health care providers, as well as social workers, should give all efforts to bring the women from behind the curtain and educate them about the hazards of smokeless tobacco use.
