Abstract

Based on data derived from the Arnhem Regional Health area, the number of patients with a primary oral squamous cell carcinoma in the Dutch population has been estimated to be approximately 400 per year. Given the population of almost 15 million, the incidence can be estimated to be 2.8 per 100,000. The role of the dentist in the prevention and early detection of cancer of the mouth is discussed. The need for regular check-ups on the target group of patients, being heavy alcohol consumers and smokers, is emphasized. Simple methods for elimination of local irritating factors are recommended.
