Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in Pre University Kodava students

Enormous changes have occurred in our environment which in turn has affected our growing young population. Proper understandings of these changes, either physical or emotional are important for the setting of healthy population. Very little epidemiologic research has been conducted into oral mucosal disorder focusing only the adolescents. This is a critical deficiency as appropriate diagnosis and treatment depends on knowledge of the relative frequency of possible lesions. This study focus on the oral mucosal changes in the college going mid adolescent age group who are increasingly susceptible to variety of factors. The study was carried out in a distinct population to study the chance of variation in different population which in turn can affect the execution of health policy for each population.
