Background and Objective: The correct collaboration between the clinician and the pathologist, and concordance between clinical and microscopic symptoms lead to appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of pathological lesions in the pathology department of Babol Dental School from 2009 to 2020.
Methods: In this retrospective descriptive study, the files of the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Department of Babol Dental School were reviewed from March 2009 to February 2020. The information including the date, age and gender of the patient, type and location of the lesion, clinical and final diagnosis, type of biopsy and the information of the sample sender were recorded and evaluated in the checklist.
Findings: The years 2013 and 2014 had the highest number of samples and the year 2020 had the lowest number of samples. The difference in referring samples in different months was significant (p=0.001). The mean age of women was 41.63±17.29 years and the mean age of men was 39.29±18.82 years (p=0.007). The highest and lowest number of samples were from the gums and the floor of the mouth, respectively. Lichen planus, radicular cyst and pyogenic granuloma were the most common diagnoses. The frequency of lesions was different in different ages (p≤0.05). In 69.7% of the lesions, at least one of the clinical diagnoses was consistent with the pathological diagnosis (r=0.273, p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that inflammatory and reactive lesions and cysts were the most common lesions. The characteristics of the lesions determined in this study can provide dentists with a solid basis for accurate diagnosis. |
