But there is a lack of data on different pattern, severity, and association of fissuring with various systemic disorders and other tongue anomalies. This study attempts to establish a classification system for fissured tongue and to know the correlation with the systemic health and other disorders of the tongue.<jats:italic>Materials and Methods.<\/jats:italic>A total of 1000 subjects between the age groups of 10 and 80 years were included in the study. Pattern of fissuring, allied systemic diseases, and related tongue anomalies were tabulated.<jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic>Out of 1000 subjects, 387 subjects presented with fissured tongue. Out of 387 subjects, hypertension was present in 57 cases, 18 subjects had diabetes, and 3 subjects had both hypertension and diabetes. Central longitudinal type was found to be the most common type of tongue fissuring.<jats:italic>Conclusion.<\/jats:italic>Fissured tongue has been found to be associated with certain systemic disease and further researches are required to know positive correlation. If a correlation exists, such disorders could be diagnosed earlier by identifying fissured tongue at an earlier age.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/262079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,20]],"date-time":"2015-09-20T21:02:16Z","timestamp":1442782936000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Newer Classification System for Fissured Tongue: An Epidemiological Approach"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Ramachandran","family":"Sudarshan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Best Dental Science College and Hospital, Madurai 625104, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Sree Vijayabala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, ESIC Medical College and PGIMSR, Ashok Pillar Road, KK Nagar, Chennai 600078, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Y.","family":"Samata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, SIBAR Institute of Dental Sciences, Guntur 522509, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Ravikiran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, SIBAR Institute of Dental Sciences, Guntur 522509, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"1","first-page":"101","volume":"37","year":"2008","journal-title":"Iranian Journal of Public Health"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4317\/medoral.17098"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-4388.100008"},{"issue":"1","key":"4","first-page":"26","volume":"34","year":"2011","journal-title":"Kerala Dental Journal"},{"issue":"1","key":"5","first-page":"1","volume":"2","year":"2014","journal-title":"Research and Reviews: Journal of Dental Sciences"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4317\/jced.2.e163"},{"issue":"1","key":"7","volume":"10","year":"2010","journal-title":"The Internet Journal of Nutrition and Wellness"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4317\/medoral.15.e562"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4317\/jced.50764"},{"issue":"5","key":"10","first-page":"157","volume":"92","year":"1999","journal-title":"Fogorvosi Szemle"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210600903010042"},{"issue":"3","key":"12","first-page":"313","volume":"12","year":"2010","journal-title":"Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7860\/JCDR\/2013\/5491.3079"},{"key":"14","first-page":"22","year":"2011","journal-title":"Journal of Gluten Sensitivity"}],"container-title":["Journal of Tropical Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/262079.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/262079.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/262079.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,27]],"date-time":"2016-07-27T10:17:30Z","timestamp":1469614650000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/262079\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":14,"alternative-id":["262079","262079"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2015\/262079","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9686","1687-9694"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-9686","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-9694","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
