“…One study analyzed medical files of 57 patients aged up to 16 years who had a final diagnosis of benign cystic lesions. They found a very similar prevalence to our data, regarding the presence of bone alterations (dentigerous cyst, periapical lesion or granuloma and calcifying odontogenic cystic) and the mandible as the most affected bone [2].…”

“…The greater occurrence of radiolucent bone alterations in children aged around 10 years was also ratified by Tkaczuk et al [2]. It is believed that at this age, the eruption or impaction of most permanent teeth has already occurred, and besides it is an age of better acceptance of dental treatments, mainly the orthodontic ones.…”

“…Bone alterations can also develop in both dentitions and can be cystic, tumoral or idiopathic. These alterations, depending on their characteristics and size, can lead to major disorders in the quality of life of the family and the child [1,2].…”

Objective To verify the prevalence of dental anomalies in terms of number, position and shape, and the presence of bone alterations, through analysis of panoramic radiographs. Methods This study evaluated dental anomalies and bone alterations in children aged 6 to 12 years-old, detected on panoramic radiographies recorded in the radiographic database of the Federal University of Espírito Santo between 2012 and 2016. Clinical and demographic information were registered. Dental records were retrieved to obtain the medical history involving syndromes or other diseases that may interfere with the anomalies and alterations. Chi-square and exact Fischer’s statistical tests were performed. Results There were alterations in 83 out of 301 panoramic radiographs analyzed. There were 169 anomalies or alterations (mean of 2,04±1,38 anomalies/patient), involving 201 teeth. The most prevalent anomaly was tooth impaction (26.63%), which affected the canines more frequently, followed by hypodontia (24.26%), more often found in the second premolar, and both affected mostly females. Hyperdontia and radiolucent lesions showed the same prevalence (18.93%), the most affected teeth were those of the anterosuperior region and the first mandibular molars, respectively. The least prevalent anomalies were dilaceration (7.69%), taurodontism (2.37%) and radiopaque lesions (1.18%). Bone alterations were significantly more found in mandible and in the posterior region, which confirms the prevalence in the lower molars. Conclusion Although there was no statistically significant difference regarding sex, there was a high prevalence of anomalies and alterations in our study population, which indicates the importance of its diagnosis by means of a panoramic x-ray examination.

“…Pediatric jaw lesions are uncommon, and the differential diagnosis is broad. 1,2 Few clinicians have extensive experience with management. Many lesions are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, whereas others may be rapidly growing and destructive.…”

“…It can be locally invasive and can be found in both jaws with similar incidence. 10,12,16 It originates from odontogenic ectomesenchyme or undifferentiated mesenchymal cells in the periodontal ligament. 8 In a Polish population, Stypulkowska found myxoma to be present more commonly in the mandible than the maxilla, and more frequently in males than females (1 : 0.7).…”

Tumors of the oral cavity are of various origins and can be signs of non-invasive cysts or malignant neoplasms.The paper describes the case of a 9-year-old boy with a tumor in the right side of the maxilla. Having been treated for an odontogenic myxoma at the age of 3, the patient was included in a national program assessing the health of children who had undergone anticancer treatment. The boy remained under oncological supervision, and the tumor was found again in the same region a few years later. It was diagnosed as a dentigerous cyst and surgically excised. In addition, when the patient was 9 several changes in dentition were found that were typical following anticancer therapy: no tooth germs were observed for teeth 13, 35 and 45, and microdontic teeth 25 and 47 were noted. These changes could be attributed to the chemotherapy performed in early childhood. Tumors appearing in the oral cavity always require an in-depth assessment of their nature and origin. Chemotherapy elicits late complications in tooth development in children.
