Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between sublingual varices and hypertension and their variation among smokers and non-smokers Materials and methods: This was an observational study done on 90 patients, 51 males and 39 females. Patients who presented with medical history other than hypertension, age group of above 65 years of age, patients who had complete/partial dentures were excluded from the study. Patients smoking habit was also taken into consideration and was divided as smokers and non-smokers. The blood pressure was assessed twice on both the arms and the mean of the readings were taken and graded as per Joint National Committee (JNC) 8 classification of hypertension. The ventral and lateral surfaces of tongue was assessed for presence of sublingual varices and graded as 0 if there were no sublingual varices and 1 if varices were present. Results: The results showed that out of 90 patients, only 15 patients had sublingual varices and they were present slightly more in patients with grade 1 hypertension in comparison to the new cases and other grades of hypertension. There was no significant change in the presence of sublingual varices among smokers and non-smokers. The presence of sublingual varices increased with increasing age. Conclusion: We found no significant association between sublingual varices and hypertension, and smokers showed lesser prevalence of sublingual varices. The presence of sublingual varices was associated with increasing age.
