Abstract

This research is an observational study. Data comprising demographic characteristics, extra- and intraoral risk factors and oral lesions were collected by interview and oral examination in order to survey the prevalence of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and its risk factors among 183 dependent patients in Nong Suea district. The results revealed the prevalence of oral lesions of 28.5%. Among these, there were 16.9% of moderate-to-high risk of malignant transformation lesions which mostly found on soft palate and floor of mouth. Of all, the prevalence of OPMDs was 1.6%. Sunlight exposure was found to be significantly related to moderate-to-high risk of malignant transformation lesions (p-value = 0.008). Descriptive analysis revealed that level of dependent status, denture wearing status and dry mouth condition were dominant risk factors highly relating to the occurrence of OPMDs. Researchers expected that these results might raise the awareness in surveillance and prevention of the occurrence of oral cancer in dependent population.
