Abstract
Background: There has never been an epidemiology study of oral and maxillofacial lesions at OPaDCORE (Oral Pathology for Diagnostic, Collaborative, Research, and Education) of Universitas Trisakti up to this date. Objective: Described the characteristics of oral and maxillofacial lesions observed at OPaDCORE Laboratory by gender, age and anatomical location. Methods: A 4-year (2016-2019) cross-sectional observational study at OPaDCORE Laboratory was conducted. All histopathology examination of biopsy and smear with information regarding clinical diagnosis, histopathological diagnosis, gender, age and anatomical location were retrieved. Result: Among 98 histopathological diagnoses from tissue biopsies, the most common lesions found were radicular cysts (15,31%), epithelial dysplasia (13,26%) and periapical granuloma (12,24%), respectively. Lesions were found more frequently in females (64,29%). The most frequent lesions found in females were periapical granuloma (17,46%) whereas males were radicular cyst (20%). By age group (in years old), the most frequent lesions found in age group 0-17 was dentigerous cyst (40%), 17-64 was periapical granuloma (16,67%) and dentigerous cyst (16,67%) and >65 was epithelial dysplasia (30%). There were 133 specimen of oral mycological smear and 9 specimens of oral cytology smear. Candidiasis was found more frequently in females (52,38%). The most common clinical diagnosis of candidiasis was pseudomembranous type (41,67%). The cytological smear for malignancy screening was encountered more in males (66,67%). Conclusions: Oral and maxillofacial lesions were more frequently encountered in adult females. Radicular cyst of maxilla is the most frequent found lesion in this study
