Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Pediatric oral pathology encompasses a wide range of diseases and conditions affecting the oral cavity in children. In this study we conducted an analysis on a dataset from one academic center in Saudi Arabia to investigate the prevalence of various oral lesions in pediatric patients.
UNASSIGNED: To conduct this study we analyzed oral pathology reports of pediatric patients (age range: 0-18 years) who underwent biopsies at our institution\'s oral pathology laboratory between January 2012 and December 2022. The data we collected included demographic information and diagnostic findings. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the prevalence rates of and associations between different variables.
UNASSIGNED: The study analyzed a total of 183 pediatric cases with oral pathologies. The most common conditions observed were mucocele (12 %), periapical granuloma (7.7 %), dentigerous cyst (6.6 %), and radicular cyst (6.6 %). Some conditions showed variations in prevalence based on age and gender. For example, mucoceles were more prevalent among patients who were 6-12 years of age and female.
UNASSIGNED: This retrospective study provides valuable insights into the prevalence and demographic characteristics of pediatric oral pathologies. By understanding the prevalence of conditions in this population and recognizing differences in distribution compared with those cited in other studies, we highlighted the importance of considering regional and demographic influences. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate factors that may contribute to these variations.
摘要:
小儿口腔病理学包括影响儿童口腔的多种疾病和病症。在这项研究中,我们对沙特阿拉伯一个学术中心的数据集进行了分析,以调查儿科患者各种口腔病变的患病率。
为了进行这项研究,我们分析了2012年1月至2022年12月期间在我们机构的口腔病理实验室接受活检的儿科患者(年龄范围:0-18岁)的口腔病理报告。我们收集的数据包括人口统计信息和诊断结果。进行统计分析以确定不同变量的患病率和相关性。
该研究共分析了183例患有口腔疾病的儿科病例。观察到的最常见的情况是粘液囊肿(12%),根尖周围肉芽肿(7.7%),牙质囊肿(6.6%),和根性囊肿(6.6%)。一些情况显示,患病率因年龄和性别而异。例如,黏液囊肿在6-12岁的女性患者中更为普遍.
这项回顾性研究为儿童口腔疾病的患病率和人口统计学特征提供了有价值的见解。通过了解该人群的患病率,并认识到与其他研究中引用的分布差异,我们强调了考虑区域和人口影响的重要性。需要进一步的前瞻性研究来调查可能导致这些变化的因素。
