title: [Carcinoma and leukoplakia in the oral cavity in relation to AHH induction, smoking and dental status].
abstract: Smoking habits, dental status and aryl-hydrocarbonhydroxylase (AHH) inducibility were studied in a series of 52 oral leucoplakias and 20 oral cancers. There was an obvious association between leucoplakia, cancer and smoking. A significant overrepresentation of high AHH and a corresponding underrepresentation of low AHH inducibility were found among the smokers with leucoplakia and in the oral carcinoma group. In both groups, however, the dental status was largely normal.
