INTRODUCTION: 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.
METHODS: 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.
RESULTS: 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.
CONCLUSION: 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.
