The oral mucosa and the tongue are also exposed to the tobacco products and smoke. Coated and hairy tongue is the lesions that can be developed due to the use of tobacco. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the amount of cigarette smoking on the occurrence of two lesions called coated and hairy tongue.METHODS: This cross sectional study was done on 534 subjects (262 non-smokers, 136 smokers and 136 heavy smokers) of the male patients who were referred to the oral disease section of Babol dental school during 2005 and 2006. Patients who didn receive antibiotic, oxidizing mouthwashes, antiacids, alcohol and coffee during the past month and didn have removable prosthesis and the history of systemic disease were included in the study. The patients have been matched in three groups according to the amount of cigarette consumption.FINDINGS: The frequency of coated tongue in the three groups non-smokers, smokers and heavy smokers were 26 (9.9%), 50 (36.8%) and 70 (51.5%), respectively and also the frequency of hairy tongue were 1 (0.4%), 5 (3.7%), 32 (23.5%), respectively. Furthermore, the frequency of coated tongue and hairy tongue in heavy smokers was significantly higher than smokers (p=0.01, p<0.0001, respectively) and in smokers was significantly higher than non-smokers (p<0.0001).CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that the quality of cigarette smoking has a positive correlation with the probability of occurrence of coated tongue and hairy tongue.N BabaeeM MotalebnejadM GhorbanpourBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticlecoated tonguehairy tonguesmokingteaohi-sMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 9, Iss 5, Pp 45-49 (2007)
