摘要：

Objective. This report investigates a possible correlation between chronic use of Viadent products and the subsequent development of leukoplakia in the maxillary vestibule. Study design. A retrospective review of 88 patients with leukoplakia of the maxillary vestibule is presented. Prevalence of Viadent use was determined in this group and in a group of 100 randomly selected adults who presented themselves for routine preadmission screening at a dental school. Results. Of the patients diagnosed with leukoplakia of the maxillary vestibule, 84.1% reported having used Viadent, whereas the prevalence of use was only 3% in the 100 randomly selected adults. Conclusions. Use of Viadent products appears to be associated with an increased prevalence of leukoplakia in the maxillary vestibule.
