Assessment of Some Atypical Structures, Oral Mucosal Lesions and Halitosis in Children and Adolescents

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevelance of some atypical developmental structures, oral lesions in oral soft tissues and halitosis that observed children in primary 3-5 years old , mixed 6-12 years old and permanent 13-17 years old dentition. In this study, 188 children 27 primary, 99 mixed and 62 permanent dentition randomly selected that applied to SDU Dentistry Faculty, Pedodontics Department. We assesed the frequency of some atypical developmental structures like “geographic tongue”, “fissured tongue”, “ankyloglossia”, some oral lesions like “recurrent aphthous stomatit”, “herpes labialis”, “oral ulcerations” and “halitosis”. The incidence of atypical developmental structures of all dentitions are; “fissured tongue” % 7.4 , “geographic tongue” % 1.6 , “ankyloglossia” % 0.5 . The incidence of some oral lesions of all dentitions are; “recurrent aphthous stomatit” % 3.7 primary, % 0 mixed, % 4.8 permanent , “herpes labialis” % 0 primary, % 2 mixed, % 3.2 permanent , “oral ulcerations” % 0 primary, % 1 mixed, %1.6 permanent . The incidence of halitosis symptome was like % 7.4 primary , % 9.1 mixed , % 6.5 permanent .

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı; süt 3-5yaş , karma 6- 12yaş ve daimi 13-17yaş dişlenme dönemlerindeki çocuklarda gözlenen oral yumuşak dokulardaki bazı atipik gelişimsel yapıların, oral lezyonların ve halitozisin sıklığının değerlendirilmesidir. SDÜ Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Pedodonti A.D Kliniğimize başvuran hastalardan rastgele seçilen 188 çocuk 27 süt, 99 karma, 62 daimi dişlenme dönemlerinde çalışmada yer almıştır. Muayene sırasında; “coğrafik dil”, “fissürlü dil”, “ankiloglossi” gibi bazı atipik gelişimsel yapıların, “rekürrent aftöz stomatit”, “herpes labialis”, “oral ülserasyonlar” gibi bazı oral lezyonların ve “halitozis” bulgusunun sıklığı değerlendirilmiştir. Dişlenme dönemlerine ait atipik gelişimsel yapıların toplam görülme sıklığı; “fissürlü dil” %7.4 , “coğrafik dil” %1.6 , “ankiloglossi” %0.5 olarak belirlenmiştir. Dişlenme dönemlerine göre bazı oral lezyonların görülme sıklığıysa; “rekürrent aftöz stomatit” %3.7 süt, %0 karma, % 4.8 daimi , “herpes labialis” %0 süt, %2 karma, %3.2 daimi , “oral ülserasyonlar” %0 süt, %1 karma, %1.6 daimi şeklinde tespit edilmiştir. Halitozis bulgusuysa; %7.4 süt , %9.1 karma , %6.5 daimi şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Her üç dişlenme için en fazla “fissürlü dil”in gözlendiği, süt ve daimi dişlenmede en fazla “rekürrent aftöz stomatitın”, karma dişlenmedeyse en fazla “herpes labialis”in izlendiği belirlenmiştir. Halitozis ise en fazla karma dişlenme döneminde görülmüştür.
