Introduction- Normal variants are physiological or para-physiological changes in the normal anatomy of the oral cavity that can be easily misdiagnosed as diseased conditions, including potentially malignant lesions, infective and immune diseases, or neoplasms. Thus identifying them and differentiating them from the diseased condition has become crucial .Treatment for such lesions is not indicated until it is symptomatic
Objective- To describe the prevalence of oral normal variants in Healthy Male and Female patients.
Methods- An observational descriptive study with a cross-sectional design with total sampling conducted from November 2022 to March 2024.
Results- From those subjects, there were 200 cases of normal variance in the oral mucosa. The three most prevalent issues were Fissured Tongue (61.5%), Linea Alba Buccalis (25%), and Racial Pigmentation(11.5%).
Conclusion- Fissured tongue is a most common Normal Variance of the oral mucosa found mostly in all ages
