Oral and maxillofacial pathologies in young- and middle-aged adults

Objective To evaluate the distribution of oral and maxillofacial pathologies (OMFPs) and its association with patient age in young‐ and middle‐aged adults. Methods Distribution of histopathologically diagnosed OMFPs (n = 385) treated during 2007–2010 was recorded and the association with patient age...

Description
Summary:Objective To evaluate the distribution of oral and maxillofacial pathologies (OMFPs) and its association with patient age in young‐ and middle‐aged adults. Methods Distribution of histopathologically diagnosed OMFPs (n = 385) treated during 2007–2010 was recorded and the association with patient age was retrospectively analyzed. Results The main diagnostic categories included benign exophytic lesions (45.3%), white benign lesions (13.5%), potentially malignant lesions/disorders (10.1%), intrabony lesions (9.8%), mucosal discoloration (7.8%), benign pigmented lesions (7.3%), chronic trauma/inflammation (3.9%), and oral malignancy (2.1%). Potentially malignant lesions/disorders as a diagnostic category were positively associated with age (OR = 1.07 for 1 year; P
