Physiologic pigmentation of the oral mucosa in Israeli Jews of different ethnic origin.

The prevalence of oral physiologic pigmentation in three ethnic groups of a total of 2465 Israeli Jews was determined, and the relationship of oral pigmentation to age and sex within the groups was noted. Results showed the presence of oral pigmentation in 63.6% of the Eastern group, 54.8% of the Sephardic group, and 24.9% of the Ashkenazi group. No indication was found of sex predilection, and no significant trend was evident in the prevalence of pigmentation with relation to age. The leading site of pigmentation among the entire sample was the gingiva, and this finding did not vary with ethnicity.

Oral lesions in elderly denture wearers.

A total of 298 patients in geriatric institutions were surveyed; 62.8% were edentulous. The frequency of denture hyperplasia and of flabby ridge was related to denture quality which deteriorates with irregular dental visits. Denture stomatitis and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia of the palate were related to denture age only and not to quality. All denture-related lesion frequencies increased with patient age and denture age. The total frequency of soft tissue lesions was 16.7% in edentulous non-denture patients and 58.2% in patients with poor quality dentures. The lowest frequency of soft tissue lesions was in edentulous, non-denture patients. Poor oral hygiene increased the frequency of positive cultures for Candida from the dentures.
