TLDR About 38% of patients at a dermatology clinic had oral lesions, with coated tongue, fissured tongue, and Fordyce granules being most common.

In 2016, a study of 1670 patients (950 females, 720 males) in Turkey found that 37.8% had oral mucosal lesions (OML). The most common OMLs were coated tongue (6.7%), fissured tongue (4.4%), and Fordyce granules (3.9%). Coated tongue was more common in males, middle-aged adults (35-54 years), and moderate smokers (20-39 cigarettes/day). There were no significant differences in OML prevalence related to alcohol consumption. Venous lake, denture stomatitis, and glossitis were significantly associated with patients aged 65 and older. More male patients had candidiasis and Behçet’s disease, while glossitis was more prevalent among females.
