Levantamento epidemiológico das lesões bucais nos pacientes atendidos nas clínicas da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de Passo Fundo

Abstract

IntroduçãoOs estudos epidemiológicos têm a função de determinar a prevalência e a incidência de inúmeras doenças, e particularizam sua distribuição em características próprias do ambiente onde estão sendo executados 1,2 . Na odontologia, estudos epidemiológicos sobre lesões do complexo bucomaxilofacial são extremamente importantes, principalmente na área estomatológica, pois auxiliam os profissionais na elaboração de hipóteses diagnósticas, fornecendo-lhes dados sobre a prevalência de alterações e doenças, permitindo-lhes então estimar a possibilidade de encontrá-las na sua prática clínica.

Retrospective Study of the Concordance Between Clinical and Histopathological Diagnosis in Oral Pathology

“…The five most prevalent oral lesions in the study were Fb (26.4%), RC (8.7%), OLP (7.6%), He (6.3%) and OL (6%). Although many studies do not show the same oral lesions and their percentages, there are studies that present the Fb as the most frequent lesion (Hoff et al, 2016;Kansky et al, 2018). About the clinical entity Fb, it was more prevalent in female patients aged 51-60 years and the predominant locations were gum (34%), buccal mucosa (21.6%) and lower lip (19.6%).…”

“…It is also important to mention that the patient's CH must be correctly filled with objective to ruling out habits or even systemic diseases that may be related to oral lesions (Emamverdideh et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2012) After the exclusion criteria, from a sample of 527 anatomopathological exams primarily elective, 368 were analyzed, witch correspond to 350 individuals, 55% female and 45% male, these results agree with several authors (Alhindi et al, 2019;Aquino et al, 2010). The higher prevalence in relation to females may be justified by the fact that women were more concerned with their oral health and were more frequent in appointments (Alhindi et al, 2019;Guedes et al, 2015;Hoff et al, 2016).…”

Oral and oropharyngeal mucosal lesions: clinical-epidemiological study of patients attended at a reference center for infectious diseases

“…Age group and skin color can vary depending on the study, as some studies on OOPML report a similar distribution, 13 , 16 , 21 , 32 while others report a female majority. 6 , 9 , 14 , 16 , 32 The male predominance in the present study may be related to the higher frequency of GID and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), diseases which are more common in men; 33 , 34 , 35 in contrast, benign lesions, mainly inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, occur more frequently in women. 6 , 9 , 13 Most of our patients had low education levels similar to that observed by Souza et al (2017).…”

“…Likewise, the OOPML locations in other epidemiological surveys varied according to the diseases observed. 13 , 14 , 20 , 21 , 32 It is worth noting that the anatomical division of the oral cavity/oropharynx between studies is not standardized. 6 , 9 , 13 As an example, the soft palate, considered as an oral cavity subsite by some authors, 6 , 13 , 21 was considered as oropharynx in the present study based on TNM anatomical division criteria.…”

“…Lymphoepithelial cyst, leukoedema, ranula, mucocele, pyogenic granuloma, benign migratory glossitis, fibroma, and leukoplakia were observed at lower frequencies than in other OOPML epidemiological surveys, probably because patients with these OOPML are usually treated in dental, rather than otorhinolaryngology, services. 6 , 9 , 19 , 20 , 27 , 32 …”
