          Abstract

          RESUMEN: En mucosa oral se pueden expresar múltiples lesiones y condiciones que se alejan de la normalidad las cuales deben ser sujeto de estudio y manejo con el fin de mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes y su calidad de vida, siendo algunas veces motivo de consulta en servicios de urgencia. Un estudio observacional retrospectivo fue realizado con los datos de atención de urgencia del Hospital Barros Luco Trudeau, incorporando las consultas producto de hallazgos en mucosa oral. Se evaluaron los datos de 121 pacientes, 54 hombres y 67 mujeres entre 12 y 84 años, promedio de 45 años. La sospecha de Tumores malignos agrupó un 24,8 % de la muestra, siendo las lesiones en tejidos contiguos a paladar duro las más frecuentes dentro de este subgrupo, seguidos de cuadros de Estomatitis y Gingivitis (21,5 %), Granulomas (20,7 %) y Hiperplasias y Fibrosis (14,9 %). Los tejidos más afectados fueron el gingival con 47 casos (38,9 %) y el palatino con 39 casos (32,2 %). Nuestros resultados se condicen con lo expresado en la literatura donde en población adulta se tienden a identificar hallazgos asociados a daño crónico sobre los tejidos, con estímulos mecánico s de baja intensidad constantes y asociación con patologías base, mientras que en pacientes de primera y segunda década las lesiones traumáticas y asociadas a virus son más frecuentes. Es crítico que los profesionales conozcan las lesiones más frecuentes de identificar en la población, conociendo su etiología y manejo adecuado, junto con disponer de una red de trabajo continuo, realizando seguimiento del caso a lo largo del proceso diagnóstico.

          ABSTRACT: Multiple lesions and conditions that are far from normal can be expressed in the oral mucosa, which should be the subject of study and management in order to improve the prognosis of patients and their quality of life, sometimes being a reason for consultation in emergency services. A retrospective observational study was carried out with the emergency care data from the Barros Luco Trudeau Hospital, incorporating the consultations resulting from findings in the oral mucosa. Data from 121 patients, 54 men and 67 women between 12 and 84 years old, average 45 years old, were evaluated. Suspicion of malignant tumors grouped 24,8 % of the sample, being the lesions in tissues adjacent to the hard palate the most frequent within this subgroup, followed by pictures of Stomatitis and Gingivitis (21.5 %), Granulomas (20.7 %) and Hyperplasias and Fibrosis (14.9 %). The most affected tissues were the gingival with 47 cases (38.9 %) and the palatal with 39 cases (32.2 %). Our results are consistent with what is expressed in the literature where, in the adult population, findings associated with chronic tissue damage tend to be identified, with constant low intensity mechanical stimuli and association with base pathologies, while in first and second patients In the decade, traumatic and virus-associated injuries are more frequent. It is critical that professionals know the most frequent injuries to identify in the population, knowing their etiology and proper management, along with having a continuous work network, monitoring the case throughout the diagnostic process.

          Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in elderly people in Santiago, Chile.

          Oral prevalence studies are important to know the state of health and the needs of treatment. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions and associated factors among aging Chileans. A random sample by age, gender, and socioeconomic status was obtained, comprising 889 individuals older than 65 years. Individuals were interviewed and examined in Santiago, the capital of Chile, according to the World Health Organization guidelines. The prevalence of one or more oral mucosal lesions in the sample was 53%. Logistic regression model revealed that denture use increased the probability of one or more oral mucosal lesions by threefold, while age, gender, smoking, medication use, xerostomia, and social or cultural factors had no effect. The most common lesion was denture stomatitis (22.3%), followed by irritative hyperplasia (9.4%), oral mucosal varicosities (9%), solitary pigmented lesions (4%), traumatic ulcer (3.5%), angular cheilitis (2.9%), multiple pigmented lesions (2.8%), hemangioma (2.3%), lichen planus (2.1%), leukoplakia (1.7%), recurrent aphthous stomatitis (1.4%), nicotine stomatitis (1.3%), median rhomboid glossitis (0.9%), actinic cheilitis (0.9%), pyogenic granuloma (0.7%), oral squamous papiloma (0.6%), and mucocele (0.2%). One case of oral cancer was observed. Different factors increased the probability of specific oral mucosal pathologies. We can conclude that oral mucosal lesions are common in elderly people in Santiago, suggesting the necessity for improved standards of prevention, and diagnostic and opportune treatment of these lesions.

              Prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in children and youths in the USA.

              There is a dearth of studies of oral lesions in children and youths using probability samples of a general population. The present paper describes the results of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994 (NHANES III), and compares them to those of the National Survey of Oral Health in US Schoolchildren, 1986-1987. The NHANES III was a large US study based on a multistage probability sample. Dentist examiners were trained to recognize, classify and record, in a standard manner, the clinical characteristics of each of the 48 conditions of interest using procedures based on the World Health Organization's Guide to Epidemiology and Diagnosis of Oral Mucosal Diseases. Examinations were performed on 10,030 individuals (10.26%) aged between 2 and 17 years, 914 of whom had a total of 976 lesions. The lip was the most frequent site of lesions (30.7%), followed by the dorsum of the tongue (14.7%) and the buccal mucosa (13.6%). Lesions were more prevalent in males (11.76%) than females (8.67%). The most prevalent lesions were lip/cheek bite (1.89%), followed by aphthous stomatitis (1.64%), recurrent herpes labialis (1.42%) and geographic tongue (1.05%). The prevalence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis in the NHANES III child and youth survey was substantially higher than that for adults, while the NHANES III adult estimates for geographic tongue (1.85%; 95% CI 1.42, 2.28) and cheek/lip bite (3.05%; 95% CI 2.36, 3.74) were substantially greater than those for children and youths (0.97% and 2.05%, respectively). Reported prevalences for rare conditions in other studies employing more selected samples (especially if standard errors or confidence intervals are not provided) should be interpreted with caution. Studies of adult populations, however valid, may have limited applicability to children.
