Since most of the studies are focused on the detection of cancer in the oral cavity, we were interested in detecting the frequency of benign changes of the oral mucosa in Slovene population. Oral mucosal lesions are important pointer of oral health and quality of life, especially in elderly. The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions, together with information on the risk habits associated with oral health, such as tobacco and alcohol use, can help in planning future oral health studies and screening programs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_raon-2018-0031_s_007_w2aab2b8c67b1b7b1aab1c16b2Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Patients and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Survey upon oral mucosal lesions was conducted during the national project for oral cancer screening in spring 2017 in the Slovenia in which more than 50% of dentists participated and 2395 patients (904 men and 1491 women) were included.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_raon-2018-0031_s_008_w2aab2b8c67b1b7b1aab1c16b3Aa\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical examination, which was conducted according to the WHO standards revealed that 645 patients (27%) had oral mucosal lesions.
