Abstrakt     The aim of the present epidemiologic study was to evaluate the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and conditions in the adult population of Ljubljana and to assess the change of periodontal treatment needs over a ten year period. In the initial survey, conducted from 1983-1987, 1609 dentate subjects in the range from 15-65 years of age were clinically examined. Ten years later of the 1609 invited subjects a total 555 came to the oral re-examination. During the intervening period 3.1 % of them had become edentulous. Oral mucosal lesions and conditions were evaluated according to the WHO Guide to Epidemiology and Diagnosis of Oral Mucosal Diseases and Conditions. Periodontal treatment needs in both surveys were assessed by the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs methodology. The results of the second survey showed the presence of one or more mucosal lesions in 61.6% of the 555 subjects. Fordyce's condition was observed the most frequently (49.7%) followed by: fissured tongue (21.1 %), varices (16.2%), history of herpes labialis (16.0%), history of recurrent aphthae (9.7%), denture stomatitis (4.3%), leukoplakia (3.1 %), cheek biting (2.7%), lichen planus (2.3%), frictional keratosis (2.2%), geographic tongue (2.2%), geographic and fissured tongue together (1.1 %), mucocele (0.9%), smoker's palate (0.5%) and angular cheilitis (0.4%). In the population examined no oral malignancies were observed. Tobacco-related lesions (leukoplakia and smoker's palate together) were significantly more prevalent among men than among women (p< 0.05), while lichen planus, denture stomatitis and herpes labialis occurred more frequently in the female population.
