Background: Detection of oral lesions may be much more difficult than skin lesions because they are less visible and, on the other hand, often do not make a difference in color with the surrounding mucosa. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the incidence of oral pediatric pathologies. Material &Methods: The present study was conducted in Amaltas Institute of Medical Sciences, Dewas, Madhya Pradesh (India) to assess the incidence of oral pediatric pathologies.A total of 75 biopsies were assessed.The available data were divided into seven groups according to age, sex, site, inflammatory/reactive, cystic, neoplastic, and others (infections). Results: In the present study, total 75 biopsies were assessed. In age group 0-4 years maximum biopsies were of females (8%), in age group 5-8 years (14.66%) and 9-13 years (38.66%) maximum biopsies were of males. Maximum biopsies assessed were of males (45%). Maximum biopsies assessed were of mandible (33.33%) followed by lip (20%). 60% biopsies were intraosseous and 40% were extraosseous. Maximum biopsies were of Inflammatory/reactive lesion (46.66%) followed by Cystic odontogenic (21.33%).In inflammatory/ reactive lesion, maximum biopsies were of Mucocele (22.66%). In Cystic odontogenic, maximum biopsies were of Dentigerous cyst (8%). Conclusion: The present study concluded thatmaximum biopsies assessed were of males. Maximum biopsies assessed were of mandible, maximum biopsies were intraosseous. Maximum biopsies were of Inflammatory/reactive lesionfollowed by Cystic odontogenic. |
