Sažetak
The workers of the Boris Kidrič Glassworks in Pula complained of oral lesions caused by their occupation. Therefore, the authors undertook an investigation in order to find out whether there are differences between the incidence of pathologic lesions occurring in glass-blowers and other workers of the Glassworks on jobs potentially entailing risks for occupational oral lesions. A total of 76 workers were examined physically and their history data were taken. The results obtained have shown significant differences between the incidence of pathologic lesions in glass-blowers and the rest of the workers. Especially great statistical differences have been noted between these two categories of workers with regard to the incidence of pigmentations and edemas of the lips, as well as xerostomia.
The results obtained indicate that the pathologic oral lesions were not of an etiology including occupational risk factors exclusively.
