Abstract
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied for the detection of h uman papillomavirus (HPV) infection in samples obtained from the clini cally normal mucosa of the oral cavity of 169 asymptomatic subjects in northern Greece. Of the subjects, 9.5% were found to be infected with HPV. Typing of HPV by Southern blot hybridization revealed that 2.4%, 0%, 0%, 4.1%, 0.6% of the subjects were infected with HPV16, 18, 33, 6 and 11, respectively.
