Abstract

Studies on the prevalence of oral lesions in children are important to characterize the most frequent lesions, as well as the most affected sites and age groups, as well as to help the dental surgeon become more apt to diagnose them. The present study aims to trace the epidemiological profile of the study population. The study was retrospective, descriptive, documentary and quantitative. A study of medical records, histopathological reports and a biopsy book of children (0-12 years) attended at the Stomatology Outpatient Clinic of UFC Campus Sobral between the period of 2009 to 2018 was carried out. During the period, 110 children, including recurrences. Of the 110 patients, 51.8% were female and 48.18% male. It was observed that the third childhood is among the most affected age group. The most common lesions were: mucocele, rnaula, inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, pyogenic ganglia and papilloma. The most present sites were: lower lip mucosa, lower lip and upper lip and the type of biopsy most performed were of the excisional type. Through the present study it is possible to trace the epidemiological profile and propose public health policies since our sector is a reference for Sobral and region in the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors in children (2.72%) and in adults.
