“…Studies selecting populations by age group provide highly specific information, therefore, need to be analyzed separately. Studies conducted on samples composed of adults and elderly patients, for example, show a higher frequency of denture-related disorders, tobacco-related disorders and chronic traumatic conditions 5,8,14,[17][18][19] , while studies using samples derived from children and adolescent groups show a higher frequency of developmental defects, such as geographic tongue, and physical injuries, such as biting and traumatic ulcers of the mucosa, recurrent aphthous stomatitis and infections, such as candidosis and herpetic lesions 4,10,13,20 . The group of diseases considered by each study also directly influence the frequencies reported.…”

AbstrAct:Prevalence of oral and maxillofacial diseases is highly variable depending on the region, country and source of the data. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial diseases diagnosed in an Oral Medicine service during a 7-year period. All clinical charts from patients attending the service in the period were reviewed to retrieve demographic and clinical data; diagnosis were classified in groups, distributed in absolute and relative values and analyzed with respect to their frequency. A total of 1075 clinical charts were reviewed and females represented 60% of the sample. Mean age of the patients was 41 years (ranging from 1 month to 94 years old) and most patients were in their fourties to fifties. A total of 1444 oral diseases were diagnosed and the most prevalent groups were soft-tissue tumors (184 cases, 12.7%), developmental defects (161, 11.2%) and epithelial diseases (127, 8.8%). Individually, the most frequent diseases included fibrous hyperplasias (120 cases, 8.3%), candidosis (77, 5.3%), periradicular inflammatory lesions (72, 5.0%) and potentially malignant disorders (52, 3.6%). Oral carcinomas represented 2.5% of the sample (36 cases). The present results reflect the frequency of oral diseases diagnosed in a specialized service in southeastern Brazil and will allow the establishment of preventive strategies and the adequacy of the clinical services offered to the target population.

“…Rarely, they can be an early sign of more serious mouth conditions. In general, the most common oral lesions are associated with trauma 4,5 . An ill-fitting, rough, or broken orthodontic appliance, a removable dental prosthesis, or a fractured or irregular tooth surface can affect the adjacent soft tissues.…”

Aim. This study evaluated the behavior of oral epithelial cells in contact with orthodontic appliances. Methods. Oral epithelial cells of clinically normal buccal mucosa were obtained by liquid-based exfoliative cytology from 22 orthodontic patients. The following regions were evaluated: a) oral mucosa exposed to friction from orthodontic brackets; b) oral mucosa exposed to friction from the tube on the orthodontic band, and c) oral mucosa not exposed to friction (control area). Nuclear (NA) and cytoplasmic (CA) areas and NA/CA ratio were assessed by an image analysis system. Cell morphology and cellularity were also analyzed by Papanicolaou technique.Results. The NA of the cells in contact with orthodontic brackets and bands were smaller than the control area. Cells in contact with the brackets showed the greatest reduction in CA in comparison with the cells subjected to friction from the tube, and the control group. Smears classified as type I predominated in all regions analyzed, although type II were predominant, together with superficial epithelial cells, mainly in the oral mucosa in contact with the band tube.Conclusion. Preclinical alterations in the epithelial cells of oral mucosa, caused by orthodontic appliances, are reduction in NA, increase in cell keratinization and inflammatory features, especially in the band tube area.

“…The lesion appears map-like, thereby giving it name "geographic" and may change their pattern over a period of time, hence given the name "migratory". The prevalence in the general population ranges between 1.0 and 2.5% and is more prominent in adults as compared to children [4]. Its prevalence in schoolchildren is 1% and there is no definitive gender predilection as reported by Redman [5].…”

Benign migratory glossitis or geographic tongue is an inflammatory lesion of unknown etiology and is characterized by loss of filiform papillae. Asymptomatic cases are more commonly seen, but symptomatic cases in children are rarely found. The aim of this paper is to report an uncommon case of symptomatic geographic tongue in a 3-year old male with a history of asthma and allergy and emphasize the importance of thorough intraoral examination to identify the condition and also to briefly review the literature.

Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in children and youths in the USA

Abstract: Reported prevalences for rare conditions in other studies employing more selected samples (especially if standard errors or confidence intervals are not provided) should be interpreted with caution. Studies of adult populations, however valid, may have limited applicability to children.
