“…Oligodoncijom se smatra nedostatak više od šest zuba, isključuju-ći treće kutnjake. Dentalna ageneza češće pogađa trajne zube, negoli mliječne (1,2,3,4). Hipodoncija može nepovoljno utjecati na estetiku i funkciju (4,5,6,7).…”

“…Oligodontia refers to the absence of more than six teeth, excluding third molars. Dental agenesis affects more frequently the permanent dentition rather than the primary dentition (1,2,3,4). Hypodontia may detrimentally affect the aesthetics and function (4,5,6,7).…”

“…30 Females were affected more than males however there are studies that mentioned there were no differences between the genders. 6,32,33 Because of these different results a comprehensive countrywide study is needed. Although it was reported that there is no difference in dental anomalies in regard to age, 33 in this study age had a significant relation with dental anomalies.…”

“…Although acquired dental conditions are most common complaints brought to dentists by patients, diagnosis and treatment of dental anomalies are also important due to the disturbances they could create in maxillary and mandibular dental arch lengths and occlusions. 6 While some bone manifestations of the jaws are usually benign, and there is rarely a reason for removal, some which are aggressive or malign in nature and need to be removed. It is important to make the differentiation of these lesions to avoid unnecessary surgery for benign lesions or delay in the treatment for malign lesions.…”

“…7 Earlier epidemiologic studies of the oral health status of the general population in Turkey focused on specific topics such as lesions related to mucosa, tongue, dentition or bone seperately. 3,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11] The aim of this study was to evaluate the general oral health status, by assessing the prevalence and types of mucosal, tongue, dental and jaw lesions, in a group of patients. This information will serve as a baseline for future studies and could be useful not only in dentistry but also for family medicine and primary care education protocols to improve oral health status in this country.…”

Aim: Oral mucosa, tongue, dentition and bone are important parameters for oral and systemic health care. A wide variety of lesions and conditions, either harmless or harmful, can affect the oral cavity. Identification and treatment of these conditions are an important part of oral health care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the general oral health status, by assessing the prevalence and types of mucosal, tongue, dental and jaw lesions, in a group of patients. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in a group of 314 dental outpatients. Participants' oral mucosal, tongue, dental, jaw lesions and their locations were recorded. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results: Three hundred and fourteen patients (40.1% female, 59.9% male), 148 (47.1%) of whom exhibited one or more mucosal lesions, 40 (12.7%) tongue lesions, 242 (77.1%) one or more acquired dental conditions, 61 (19.4%) one or more dental anomalies, and 22 (7.0%) bone manifestations in the jaws. The most commonly detected mucosal lesions were Fordyce's granules (20.1%), linea alba buccalis (16.9%), melanoplakia (15.9%), and frictional keratosis (2.5%). Fissured tongue (8.0%), geographic tongue (1.6%), lingual varicosity (1.3%) and coated tongue (1.3%) were the most commonly determined tongue lesions. The most commonly detected dental anomalies were hypodontia (6.1%), microdontia (4.1%), dilaceration (4.1%), and enamel hypoplasia (2.5%). Exostoses (4.1%), enostoses (1.0%) and fibro-osseous lesions (1.0%) were the most commonly detected bone manifestations in the jaws. Conclusion: Oral mucosal and tongue lesions could be a sign of systemic diseases and also could form a base for oral cancers. In this study oral mucosal lesions and tongue lesions prevalence were high but fortunately all the detected conditions were harmless, benign conditions. This emphasizes the importance of familiarity, awareness, and differentiation of these lesions and conditions to avoid unnecessary treatments.Key words: Oral health, oral mucosal lesions, tooth anomalies, tongue lesions ÖZET Amaç: Oral mukoza, dil, dentisyon ve çene kemikleri ağız ve genel sağlığın önemli parametreleridir. Zararlı ve zararsız birçok lezyon ve durum oral kaviteyi etkileyebilir. Bu durumların tespit ve tedavileri ağız ve genel sağlığın önemli bir parçasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir grup hastanın ağız sağlığı durumlarının mukoza, dil, diş ve çene lezyonlarının prevalans ve tipleri değerlendirilerek belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çalışmaya diş hekimliği fakültesine başvuran 314 hasta katıldı. Katılımcıların oral mukoza, dil, diş ve çene kemiklerindeki lezyonlar ve bu lezyonların lokalizasyonları kaydedildi. Veriler lojistik regresyon modeli oluşturularak incelendi. Bulgular: Üç yüz on dört hastanın (%40.1 kadın, %59.9 erkek), 148'inde (%47.1) bir veya birden fazla mukoza lezyonu, 40'ında (%12.7) dil lezyonu, 242'sinde (%77.1) kazanılmış bir veya birden fazla dental patoloji, 61'inde (%19.4) bir veya birden fazla diş anomalisi ve 22'sinde (%7.0) kemik lezyon...
