A scientific survey on 1550 cases of oral lesions diagnosed in a Brazilian referral center

Abstract

The present study aimed to perform an epidemiological survey on the prevalence rate of oral lesions diagnosed in a referral center in Brazil and to establish association between the lesions and the age and gender of the affected patients. This analytical observational study analyzed 3521 medical records of anatomopathological exams of the Pathological Anatomy and Cytopathology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the state of Mato Grosso (Brazil), from December 2011 to September 2015. A total of 1550 relevant medical records was detected. Patients aging between 41 and 60 consisted of 42.84% of the sample. Males were more affected than females (60.13%). Inflammatory processess consisted of the most prevalent diagnosis (43.29%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (6.06%), and periapical granuloma (5.23%). Oral health public policies must give major attention to Brazilian males aged between the fourth and sixth decades of life in order to improve their quality of life.

Profile of the demand assisted by a team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the city of Cuiabá, Brazil: a time-series study

“…The role of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon as a dental specialty is very broad, as they are responsible for the management of post-traumatic patients, the performance of biopsies in the oral cavity, excision and resection of tumors, orthognathic surgeries, and management of infections (BRASIL, 2002). This role may be observed in the literature (CUSTÓDIO et al, 2016;VASCONCELOS et al, 2017;VASCONCELOS et al, 2018) and in the results of the present study, in which over one thousand people were assisted by the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology (OMFST) service of the hospital selected and several types of procedures were performed, thus showing the importance of this specialty in the hospital environment.…”

Surgical management of a large calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor in the maxilla: A case report

“…The odontogenic tumors represent between 2.3% and 4.7% of all lesions diagnosed in specific anatomic pathology services of the buccomaxillofacial complex [10,11]. The CEOT is also known as Pindborg tumor and is considered a rare pathological entity representing less than 2.5% of all odontogenic tumors [[11], [12], [13]], although a prevalence up to 15% has been found [14].…”

Prevalência das lesões de mucosa bucal e seu impacto na qualidade de vida de escolares

“…A segunda lesão mais prevalente no presente estudo foi a mucocele (5,63%). Os resultados de Vasconcelos et al 22 mostraram a lesão de mucocele como sendo a menos prevalente dentre as lesões estudas (1,61%) enquanto os achados de Silva et al 23 constaram a mucocele como a lesão inflamatória mais prevalente (64%). Entende-se que essa discrepância nos resultados pode ser influenciada pela faixa etária dos pacientes pesquisados.…”
