Abstract:
There are various oral diseases related to tobacco habits. In the majority of these diseases there is a dose-response relationship. This is particularly true for premalignant lesions, such as leukoplakia, and squamous cell carcinoma. Patients should be informed about the deleterious effects of tobacco on the oral tissues.
