Abstract

Oral mucosal lesions are a broad range of different alterations located in the oral cavity. Most of the studies which describe the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions have been carried out mainly in an adult population. Therefore, in the literature available, there are few reports about oral mucosal lesions and alterations of the normal oral mucosa in pediatric population. A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was conducted, with non-probability sampling for convenience, with a sample of 110 patients and a level of confidence of 95 %. We estimated only 51 children which fitted our inclusive criteria. In 51 patients a prevalence of 37.2 % of oral mucosal lesions was observed. The more prevalentlesionswereminoraphthousulcers(21.5%), irritationfibroma(15.7%),traumaticulcer(15.7%),traumatic erosion (10.2 %), impetigo (10.2 %), pigmented lesions, recurrent herpes labialis, recurrent intraoral herpes, mucocele, and ranula (5.2 % each). The most frequent location observed in oral mucosallesions,waslabialmucosa(25.0 %),followed byvermilionborder(15.0 %),buccalmucosa(15.0 %), labial commissures (10.0 %), buccal groove (5.0 %) etc. in conclusion, even though most of the oral mucosal lesions evaluated in this study can be diagnosed in a purely clinicalway;therearesomeoralmucosallesionsthat need confirmation through an anatomo-pathological study.
