Abstract
The relationship between Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and oral risk habits is still uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the connection between oral risk habits and HSV status in a group of male patients from Sri Lanka who have oral fibroepithelial polyps. We collected 25 fibroepithelial polyps from nine oro-maxillofacial units in six provinces of Sri Lanka. Tissue samples were taken from frozen excisional biopsies to avoid contamination and tested for HSV- DNA using a real-time PCR assay. The results showed that HSV-DNA was present in 44% of the samples, with 66.67% being HSV-1 and 33.33% being HSV-2. However, there was no significant correlation between HSV status and oral risk habits such as betel quid chewing, smoking, and alcohol abuse. The study suggests the need for larger case-control studies to determine any significant associations between different types of Herpes Simplex Virus and oral risk habits.
