Abstract :

Tobacco use is a primary cause of many oral diseases and adverse oral conditions, particularly cancer of the oral cavity. India is in the grip of an oral–cancer epidemic, largely caused by increase in tobaccochewing. This data makes out a case for banning not just gutka, where tobacco is added to other food materials, but also chewing tobacco itself which has not been banned. Hence there is a need of other alternate for tobacco chewing in habitual person, there by reduces the risk of oral cavity diseases especially in oral cancer. As Tambula is the main ingredient in this formulation, has proven its anticancerous and antimicrobial activity and even it is also helpful for healthy individuals . Due to this particular reason the survey study is selected.
