Abstract in English
Chewing Qat is a common habit in the Yemen society.
Various studies demonstrated clear effects of this habit on the
Yemen society, in general, and the systemic organs of the
human body in particular. The absence of studies about the
effects of chewing Qat on teeth, supporting tissues, and oral
mucosa was the major motive for this study.
