The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective study of 1,894 maxillofacial injuries diagnosed in a public laboratory in Mato Grosso and verify the association by considering the following variables: gender, age, anatomical locationand origin of the patient (capital, interior). Methods A sample was selected in the period from2005 to 2008 in order to assess the prevalence of oral lesions in a Public Laboratory (MT Laboratório). Results Chronic gingivitis was the most prevalent lesion, with a frequency of 11.46%, followed by inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (7.44%), mucocele (7.23%) and fibroma (5.54%). Females were affected in50.63% of cases and males49.37%. However, there is no difference in gender (p=0.435). The second decade of lifeshowed a higher prevalence of injuries. The region of the jaw proved to be the most affected (24.45%) and most patients came from the interior. There was a statistically significant association between some pathologies and sex(p<0.001) among the most prevalent anatomical locations and gender (p<0.001) and origin of the patient (p<0.001). Conclusion It can be concluded that chronic gingivitis was the most prevalent lesion. There was a statistically significant association between some pathologies and sex, amongst the most prevalent anatomical locations and sex and origin of the patient.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ORAL CAVITY INJURIES AND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN DENTAL PRACTICE (Atena Editora), 2022
Studies on the occurrence and distribution of cancer in Brazil, one of the main public health problems, can support managers, health professionals, researchers, students and society in general, through the appropriation of knowledge about reality. The objective of the present study was to know the incidence of oral cavity lesions most commonly found in public oral health services in the city of Criciúma, Santa Catarina, and by academics from a university, in the Dentistry course. This was a basic scientific research, qualitative, exploratory and field, and was developed through research in databases and virtual forms to be filled out online by Dental Surgeons and academics from the chosen institution. The questions addressed the sociodemographic profile, clinical management, knowledge about the clinical diagnosis, risk factors and conditions of the disease, and the opinion of the dentist and academic in relation to the patient's knowledge about oral cancer. The survey questionnaires were applied with the aim of encouraging a culture of diagnostic improvement in Dentistry. The questionnaire proved to be of paramount importance, exposing that the vast majority of academics and dental surgeons know how to perform complete exams, but still feel insecure to diagnose and deal with the situation, essential for the treatment of these injuries.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The present study aimed to perform an epidemiological survey on the prevalence rate of oral lesions diagnosed in a referral center in Brazil and to establish association between the lesions and the age and gender of the affected patients. This analytical observational study analyzed 3521 medical records of anatomopathological exams of the Pathological Anatomy and Cytopathology Laboratory of the Cancer Hospital of the state of Mato Grosso (Brazil), from December 2011 to September 2015. A total of 1550 relevant medical records was detected. Patients aging between 41 and 60 consisted of 42.84% of the sample. Males were more affected than females (60.13%). Inflammatory processess consisted of the most prevalent diagnosis (43.29%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (6.06%), and periapical granuloma (5.23%). Oral health public policies must give major attention to Brazilian males aged between the fourth and sixth decades of life in order to improve their quality of life.

Oral lesions in elderly patients of a community in Brazilian Northeast Objective: To investigate the oral soft-tissue injuries in people aged 60 or older. Methods: Cross-sectional research conducted with 262 elders aged 60-93 years (mean 69.84, SD ± 6.212) from the Dende community in Northeast, Brazil. Data were collected through an identification questionnaire and the Community Indicator in Oral Health. Data were computed by the Software SPSS, version 15. Results: There was a predominance of female gender (64.1%), retired, low schooling and income of up to one minimum wage. It was detected a prevalence of soft-tissue injuries in 38.4% (n = 101) of the elders, distributed as follows: red spots 60(57.7%), blisters 20(19.2%), lesions and/or wound 16(15.4%), and white spot 8(7.7%). Among the elders, 40(15.3%) smoked and 20(7.6%) used alcohol. It was verified a statistical association between injuries and using prosthesis (p = 0.039), medicine (p = 0.023) and calculus (p = 0.016). Conclusion: The oral health of this population is precarious, and there is a high prevalence of oral lesions.

To determine the frequency and spectrum of oral and maxillofacial lesions biopsied in a hospital population in the northern region of Portugal. We conducted descriptive analyses of pathology reports from biopsies of oral and maxillofacial lesions performed between 1990 and 2006, in Oporto Hospital Center. Information on gender and age of patient, location of the lesions and the histopathological diagnosis were analysed. The analyses revealed that 1,520 (47.7%) patients were male and 1,666 (52.3%) were female. They had a mean age ± standard deviation of 47.8 ± 18.6 years. The site most frequently biopsied was the labial mucosa (17.5%). A non-neoplastic diagnosis was established in 2,162 (63.3%) cases, potentially malignant disorders in 163 (5.1%) and neoplasms in 886 (27.6%) (403 benign and 483 malignant). The most commonly reported diagnosis was fibroepithelial polyp (n = 186; 15.9%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 158; 13.6%). SCC was the lesion most commonly found ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial lesions among older adults (≥60 years) from representative regions in Brazil. Retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study. Biopsy records were obtained from the archives of four Brazilian referral centers of oral diagnosis between 2000 and 2016. A total of 45,506 biopsy records of all patients were analyzed, of these 7,259 persons aged 60 and older were selected. Data such as gender, age, race, anatomical location, and histopathological diagnosis were collected and categorized. Pearson's chi-square test (P < .005) was used to evaluate differences in the frequency of the several groups of oral lesions. Oral and maxillofacial lesions were diagnosed in 7,259 older people, including 59.4% women (P < .001) and 61.3% white patients (P = .07). The most commonly affected sites were the cheek mucosa (20.3%) and mandible (8.9%) (P < .001). Reactive and inflammatory lesions were the most common l...
Prevalence of oral pathology in elderly people from the Forensic Medicine Service in Mexico City
Revista mexicana de medicina forense y ciencias de la salud, 2018
Introduction. Oral pathologies are frequent in the elderly population, but the studies carried out so far come from populations other than Mexican; it is important to know the prevalence of oral pathologies in our population. Material and Methods: We included 150 cadavers of individuals from 60 to 92 years old, 39% female, all of them admitted to the Forensic Medical Service of the Institute of Forensic Sciences of Mexico City. A qualitative analysis of soft tissue and hard tissue pathologies was performed, using odontometric indexes and histopathological study in cases of doubt. Statistical analysis of descriptive type was carried out. Results: Of the population studied, the highest prevalence was found in alterations of the temporomandibular joint (26.14%) followed by frictional keratosis (10.68%), dentigerous cyst (10%), actinic cheilitis (8.64%) and nicotinic leukokeratosis (8.41%); We did not find differences by sex, subgroups of age and other sociodemographic factors. Conclusion: The prevalence of oral pathologies in our pupulation is different from that reported in the international literature. It could be related to socioeconomic status, access to health services and hygiene conditions, although the design of our study can not determine this facts. Our results allow the design of preventive campaigns to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality.
