Main Methods:

  • Systematic evaluation of patients enrolled in the Desert Shield/Desert Storm Registry.
  • Clinical observation and documentation of oral findings.
  • Data collection on patient demographics and medical history.

Main Results:

  • Identification of repetitive and similar oral findings in a subset of evaluated patients.
