Ninety\u2010eight per cent of cases had at least one oral mucosal lesion. The most common lesions were fissured tongue (66.5%), atrophic glossitis (48.8%), sublingual varicosity (42%) and xerostomia (38%). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of denture\u2010related lesions (DRLs) between men and women (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2003&gt;\u20030.05). Xerostomia was more prevalent in 70\u201379\u2010year\u2010old than in 60\u201369\u2010year\u2010old subjects.
