Introduction

Complete oral examination is of great assistance in the differential diagnosis of these lesions.(1) If no local information is available about oral mucosal lesions and they are not diagnosed early, the consequences would harm the patient as well as the society in both emotional and economic terms.(2) Scattered studies have been conducted on the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors among Iranian population.(3) The early diagnosis of these lesions prior to progression would increase the chance of recovery.(4, 5, 6) Several authors have conducted epidemiological studies on oral mucosal lesions Some of these studies are clinical-based without histopathology confirmation and some are retrospective evaluation of biopsied lesions. Conclusion: The most prevalent oral mucosal lesion was the Squamous Cell Carcinoma, which is a malignant tumor with epithelial origin, and its early diagnosis is necessary
