“…(3) Identification of high risk population for prevention, early detection, treatment and estimation of prevalence, assessment of distribution of oral cavity lesions is possible with the retrospective studies. (4) In the oral cavity site, predilection for different types of lesions is seen. Salivary gland tumors occur most commonly on upper lip and mucocele in the lower lip.…”

The oral cavity mucosal tissue alteration can manifest in a variety of lesions where great majority of localized overgrowths of the oral mucosa are considered to be reactive rather than neoplastic in nature. Many of these lesions can be identified as specific entities on the basis of their histopathological features. In our present study, we have evaluated the various benign lesions of oral cavity with emphasis on relative frequencies, types and distribution of lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODSAll the benign lesions of oral cavity diagnosed by histopathology in the Department of Pathology, K. S. Hegde Medical Academy of Nitte University over a period of two years from July 2012 to June 2014 were retrospectively studied. Paraffin tissue blocks were collected from Histopathology Department and 5 microns thick. Sections stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin were studied by histopathologist. RESULTSA total of 124 cases were analyzed during the study period. The age group ranged from 8 to 86 years in the study with a mean age of 63.9 years. Buccal mucosa was the most common site involved in 44(35.5%) cases. Benign lesions of oral cavity included inflammatory/infective lesions in 30(24.2%) cases, traumatic/hyperplastic in 30(24.2%), cystic in 10(8%) developmental lesions in 16(13%), pre-malignant lesions comprising of leukoplakia and erythroplakia in 20(16%) and benign neoplastic lesions constituted in 18(14.6%) cases. Leukoplakias are the common benign lesions of the oral cavity followed by hemangiomas, hyperplasia and squamous papilloma. In the buccal mucosa, most common lesions were leukoplakia and lichen planus. CONCLUSIONThe increased frequency of benign neoplastic lesions (14.6%) in our study and less (4%) as compared to other author is possibly due to limited sample size in ours as contrast to large population based study by them.

“…A maior parte da amostra (79,1%) era do sexo feminino. Um maior número de mulheres também foi encontrado nos estudos de Coelho et al 6 14 afirmam que alterações fisiológicas e nutricionais sistêmicas, mudanças no ambiente bucal, higiene bucal deficiente, hábitos e uso de medicamentos associados à idade aumentam a prevalência de patologias orais em usuários de próteses dentárias.…”

Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de lesões orais em usuários de prótese dentária. Material e método: 110 usuários de próteses dentárias foram avaliados quanto ao sexo, faixa etária, tipo de prótese, tempo de uso de prótese e tempo de uso da prótese atual, frequência e métodos de higienização bucal e da prótese, uso noturno da prótese e consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e fumo. Para coleta dos dados realizou-se o exame clínico dos participantes e posterior orientação de higiene bucal e da prótese. Resultado: 34,6% dos usuários de prótese exibiram algum tipo de patologia, sendo a estomatite protética (27,3%) a mais prevalente. 2,7% dos participantes desenvolveram queilite e 4,6% uma associação de estomatite e queilite. Não houve diferença significativa entre os sexos quanto à presença de lesão. 46,4% dos usuários apresentavam higiene bucal deficiente e desses 54,9% possuíam algum tipo de lesão bucal. A frequência de higienização demonstrou ser um dos fatores determinantes no processo de desenvolvimento de lesões. 71,9% dos participantes relataram fazer uso noturno da prótese. 30% dos que bebem e 30% dos fumantes ativos possuíam lesão bucal. Conclusão: Há ainda um grande número de pessoas acometidas por lesões orais de simples diagnóstico e intervenção. Assim, faz-se extremamente necessário a contínua orientação, conscientização e acompanhamento profissional da população para uma melhor qualidade de vida.Descritores: Prótese Dentária; Prevalência; Mucosa Bucal; Patologia Bucal.

Trauma in Dentistry

Trauma-related oral lesions are common in clinical practice of dentistry and they can impair patients' normal oral function and cause pain in patients' eating, chewing, and talking. An injury to the oral mucosa can result from physical, chemical, or thermal trauma. Such injuries can result from accidental tooth bite, hard food, sharp edges of the teeth, hot food, or excessive tooth brushing. Some injuries can also be caused by iatrogenic damage during dental treatment or other procedures related to oral cavity. In this chapter, oral mucosal trauma and injuries will be examined in four subclasses: physical and mechanical traumas of oral mucosa; chemical injuries of the oral mucosa; radiation injuries; and electrical, thermal burns.
