45) age groups and related factors in these groups were compared through Chi-square test in SPSS statistical package (16).Results: Out of 170 patients suffering from OSCC, 138 cases (81.2%) were in the older age group. In this group, there were no statistically significant differences between sex. Tongue and blood group A were the most common site and blood group, respectively ( p <0.05). Thirty two patients (18.8%) were in the young group, and mandibular mucosa and floor of the mouth were the most affected site. The great number of the patients were from the north of the country and in stage (IV) of the disease ( p <0.05).Conclusion: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is more prevalent in older Iranian patients and the pattern of the disease is different in young patients.Key words: Oral squamous cell carcinoma, Young and old patients, prevalence, Iranian population]]>

0.05).Conclusion: Both drinks may have almost similar but significant erosive effect on the primary and permanent enamel surfaces. Although there wasn’t any difference between erosive effect of the two beverages, this effect was increased with increase in time. The primary teeth enamel was not found to be more susceptibe to acidic beverage-induced erosion than the permanent teeth.Key words: Permanent teeth, Primary teeth, Erosion, Acidic beverage]]>

0.05). Among general dentists, the differences of accurate responses between those with professional experience <10 years (62.44±15.64 %) and those with the professional experience >10 years (61.82±13.91 %) were not significant; ( p =0.83).Conclusion: This study revealed that dental medical doctors' awareness regarding harvesting and handling of oral biopsies is lower than that of the students of dentistry. Moreover, gender and professional experience did not affect the level of knowledge. Consequently, there is a need for further training in this respect for dental medical doctors.Key words: Dentist, Harvesting and Handling, Knowledge, Oral biopsy, Student]]>
