Türkiye’de Bir Pediatrik Popülasyonda Oral Patolojilerin Dağılımı

Year 2025, Volume: 7 Issue: 2, 213 - 220, 29.08.2025

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Konya ilinde 0–16 yaş aralığındaki çocuk hastalardan alınan beş yıllık ağız içi biyopsi sonuçlarını retrospektif olarak değerlendirerek, elde edilen patolojik bulguların yaş ve cinsiyet dağılımına göre analiz edilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, 2019–2024 yılları arasında Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’ne başvuran çocuk hastalardan alınan biyopsi örnekleri incelenmiştir. Toplam 84 hastanın biyopsi verileri değerlendirilmiş, histopatolojik tanılar arşiv kayıtlarından elde edilmiştir. Veriler PSPP v2.0.0 programı kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların %54,8’i erkek (n=46), %45,2’si kız (n=38) olup; en fazla vaka 13–16 yaş grubunda (%50,0), en az vaka ise 6–8 yaş grubunda (%14,7) gözlenmiştir. En sık rastlanan lezyon grubu kistler/pseudokistlerdir (%53,7). Dentigeröz kist (%28,6), odontoma (%20,2) ve radiküler kist (%17,9) en yaygın tanılar arasında yer almıştır. Olguların %8,3’ünde ise tanı konulamamıştır.
Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular, Konya ilindeki pediatrik popülasyonda ağız içi patolojilerin dağılımına dair güncel ve bölgesel veri sunmaktadır. Bu verilerin, erken tanı ve uygun tedavi yaklaşımlarının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Distribution of Pediatric Oral Pathologies in a Turkish Population Sample

Year 2025, Volume: 7 Issue: 2, 213 - 220, 29.08.2025

Abstract

Aim: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate five years of oral biopsy results obtained from pediatric patients aged 0–16 in Konya, and to analyze the distribution of pathological findings by age and gender. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, biopsy samples collected from pediatric patients admitted to the Faculty of Dentistry at Necmettin Erbakan University between 2019 and 2024 were examined. A total of 84 patient records were reviewed. Histopathological diagnoses were obtained from archived pathology reports. Data were statistically analyzed using PSPP v2.0.0 software.
Results: Of the 84 patients, 54.8% (n=46) were male and 45.2% (n=38) were female. The majority of cases occurred in the 13–16 age group (50.0%), while the fewest were in the 6–8 group (14.7%). The most common lesion group was cysts and pseudocysts (53.7%). Dentigerous cysts (28.6%), odontomas (20.2%), and radicular cysts (17.9%) were the most frequent diagnoses. In 8,3% of cases, no definitive pathological diagnosis could be established.
Conclusion: The findings provide updated and region-specific data on the distribution of oral pathologies among the pediatric population in Konya. These results may contribute to improving early diagnosis and developing effective treatment strategies in pediatric dental care.
