Direct interviews with 238 cases 450 controls were used gather information about structured data collection forms. Chi-square tests multivariable logistic regression along computation scores inverse probability treatment weighting odds ratios (ORs) weighted R version 4.3.2. Bivariate analysis found a significant difference use, duration frequency consumption, vegetable controls. Comparing controls, weighed ORs higher those who had habit smokeless (OR = 9.09, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.624-15.143) smoking 8.96, CI: 4.988-16.113) more than 10 years. Oral also included history chronic trauma mouth 3.00, 1.287-6.996) daily 5.69, 3.518-9.220). establishes role factor cancer, an emphasis on provides supporting evidence cavity cancer.
