“…Apparently this may be due to the higher sensitivity of the depapillated areas on the tongue dorsum to the acidic food. Few studies have shown that geographic tongue was more common in atopic patients (15) and patients with psoriasis (18). However, a large scale study reported a strong association of geographic tongue to race / ethnicity but did not find a significant association of geographic tongue to age, gender, diabetes mellitus or dermatological diseases (19).…”

Tongue lesions constitute a considerable proportion of oral mucosal lesions, and are health concern to both oral health care providers and public. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of tongue lesions and conditions among a group of Jordanian population attending dental clinics, in addition to assessment of their symptoms, knowledge, and treatment provided for their tongue lesions. Study design: A total of 2000 dental out-patients were screened for tongue lesions. Results: Fissured tongue was the most common tongue lesion diagnosed in 11.5% of the subjects, followed by coated tongue (8.2%), geographic tongue (4.8%), hairy tongue (2.4%) and median rhomboid glossitis (0.5%). Symptoms were reported by 28% of the subjects with geographic tongue and 23% with fissured tongue. The majority of the subjects (ranging from 61.1%-86.4%) were neither aware about their tongue lesions nor worried about their prognosis. Less than 50% of those who were aware of their tongue lesions sought medical advice. Conclusion: The high prevalence of tongue lesions necessitates higher awareness of the general dental practitioner by their etiology, diagnosis and management.

“…Oral lesions were found in 67.5% psoriatic patients out of whom geographic tongue was present in 12.5 % of patients with psoriasis. Miloglu O et al, [8] conducted a study on 7619 patients (3819 female, 3800 male) on a Turkish dental outpatient and geographic tongue was found in 1.5% of all the patients examined. This study further provided evidence that geographic tongue was more prevalent in young, nonsmokers, and atopic/ allergic individuals.…”

“…The depapillated areas appears like continental outlines on a globe, hence the use of the routine term geographic tongue. 6 The etiopathogenesis of erythema migrans remains unknown though many risk factors have been proposed including hormonal disturbances and oral contraceptive use, psychological factors, diabetes mellitus, allergic conditions such as atopy, hay fever and rhinitis, dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, and Reiter's Syndrome. There have also been reports of GT in correlation with Down's syndrome and fissured tongue.…”
