ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed at providing updated information on biopsied oral and maxillofacial lesions from children below 12 years, received between 2001 and 2016, from a tertiary health care center in North Kerala, India. Materials and methods The archives of the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Government Dental College, Kozhikode, India, were retrospectively analyzed over a period of 16 years (2001—2016). Patients aged 12 years and below were considered as the pediatric population. Age, gender, site, and histopathologic diagnosis were recorded. Subjects were divided into three age groups: 0 to 6, 7 to 9, and 10 to 12 years. The oral and maxillofacial lesions were classified into eight different categories. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results Of the total 8,306 biopsied cases, 334 cases were from the pediatric population. Cases showed almost equal predilection between males (48%) and females (52%); M:F = 1:1.08. Both mandible (26.94%) and maxilla (26.05%) showed almost equal site predilection followed by lower lip (19.76%), gingiva (14.67%), and tongue (5.39%). The most common condition diagnosed individually was periapical cyst (21.86%), followed by mucocele (17.37%) and dentigerous cyst (13.17%). Regarding the diagnostic categories, most lesions were in the cystic group (37.43%) followed by the inflammatory/reactive group (31.44%) and benign odontogenic tumors (10.48%). Conclusion This study showed similar trends as well as contradictory results when compared with other studies. This can be due to geographical and ethnic variations, difference in criteria, and difference in age groups selected. How to cite this article Nair RG, Sudha S, Paikkadan I, Beegum F.

The aim of this study was to provide pathological information of pediatric oral lesions by retrospectively analyzing oral biopsy results from pediatric patients at the Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Biopsy results of all oral lesions from pediatric patients, aged 0 - 16 years, were collected from the files of the Department of Oral Pathology, Seoul National University Dental Hospital from January 2000 to April 2020. The patients were divided into 3 age groups: 0 - 5, 6 - 11 and 12 - 16 years. All oral lesions were classified into three main categories: inflammatory and reactive, tumor or tumor-like and cystic lesions. Among the total of 2928 biopsy specimens, tumor or tumor-like lesions(35.66%) were the most common, followed by inflammatory and reactive lesions(34.29%) and cystic lesions(30.05%). Regardless of the categories used in this study, odontoma was the most frequently found lesion, mucocele and dentigerous cyst being the next common. This study was the first retrospective review of pediatric oral pathology in Korea, and the results from this study may assist in providing informative insight into the pediatric oral pathology for pediatric dentists.

<p><strong>BACKGROUND &amp; OBJECTIVE:</strong><em> </em>Trauma is a major cause of mortality in children aged 1 to 14 years old and its patterns differs from country to country. In this study we investigated the epidemiology and distribution of non-intentional trauma in the pediatric population.</p><p><strong>MATERIALS &amp; METHODS: </strong>The archives of 304 children below 10 years old who presented to Taleghani trauma care center in Kermanshah, Iran from March to September 2008, were reviewed. Patients’ demographic and injury related information were registered. The participants were categorized into three age groups of 0-2, 3-6 and 7-10 years old and the data was compared among age groups and between both sexes.</p><p><strong>FINDINGS: </strong>The most common cause for trauma was falling from heights (65.5%) and road traffic accidents (16.4%). The most common anatomical sites of injury were the upper limbs followed by the head and neck (36.8% and 31.2%, respectively). Injuries mostly occurred in homes (67.4%). The injuries were mostly related to the orthopedics and the neurosurgery division (84.1% and 13.1%, respectively). Accident rates peaked during the hours of 18-24 (41.3%). Male and female patients did display any difference regarding the variables.</p><p>Children between the ages of 0-2 years old had the highest rate of injury to the head and neck area (40.3%) (p=0.024). Falls and road traffic accidents displayed increasing rates from the ages of 0-2 to 3-6 and decreasing rates to the ages of 7-10 years old (p=0.013). From the ages of 0-2 to 3-6 years old, street accidents increased and household traumas decreased. After that age household trauma rates increased and street accidents decreased (p=0.005). Children between the ages of 7-10 years old had the highest rate of orthopedic injury (p=0.029).</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong><em> </em>Special planning and health policies are needed to prevent road accidents especially in children between the ages of 3-6 years old. Since homes were the place where children between the ages of 0-2 were mostly injured, parents should be educated about the correct safety measures that they need to take regarding their children's environments. The orthopedics department needs to receive the most training and resources for the management of pediatric trauma.</p>

Significant Difference

There are few studies on pediatric oral pathologies in the literature. This study presents data from a review of 2,356 biopsies of young patients (birth to 14 years) received over 15 years (1985-2000) in the Oral Pathology Service at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Information about patients (sex, age, race) and histopathological diagnosis was retrieved. Diagnosis data of 2,356 biopsies were classified into 20 groups.There was no significant difference between male (50.0%) and female (49.0%) patients. White is the predominant race (69.0%), and patients ages were concentrated between 9 and 14 years old (70%). Mucocele was the most frequent (13.5%), followed by dentigerous cyst (6.5%) and fibrous hyperplasia (5.4%). Papilloma and Langerhans cells histiocytosis were the most common non-odontogenic benign and malignant tumors, respectively. In the group of odontogenic tumors, odontoma was the most frequent, and ameloblastoma had a significant incidence (27 cases). These data are important in order to detect differences in geographic areas, diagnosis line tendencies and for clinicians to perform judgment to evaluate of the pediatric patients before the biopsy and management of pediatric oral lesions.

Introdução: Os odontomas são tumores odontogênicos benignos e os mais frequentes dos maxilares. Usualmente estão associados à dentição permanente em crianças e adultos jovens, sendo geralmente assintomáticos, podendo causar impactação dental. O aspecto radiográfico é de múltiplas calcificações, semelhantes ao dente, circundadas por um estreito halo radiolúcido, sendo o diagnóstico feito através de exames radiográficos de rotina. Objetivo: Este trabalho teve como objetivo relatar a remoção cirúrgica de um odontoma composto em região anterior da maxila, associado a dentes impactados, em um paciente pediátrico. Relato do caso clínico: Paciente do sexo masculino, 12 anos, foi referido ao serviço de cirurgia oral da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus Patos – PB, encaminhado pelo ortodontista. Durante anamnese não foram constatados comprometimento sistêmico. Ao exame físico foi observado abaulamento na região maxilar esquerda e retenção prolongada de alguns elementos, como também a ausência de outros. Analisada a radiografia panorâmica, foi observada massa radiopaca, na região anterior da maxila, sugestiva de odontoma composto, com impactação dental. Em decorrência da proximidade da lesão com os dentes anteriores superiores impactados e da localização do elemento 21, foi feita tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico, o que facilitou o planejamento cirúrgico. O procedimento foi realizado sem intercorrências e no pós-operatório tardio, o paciente evolui satisfatoriamente. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir que o tratamento proposto foi eficaz e que a tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico é um exame complementar de grande valia no diagnóstico de patologias, assim como no planejamento cirúrgico, devido à alta resolução e precisão das imagens obtidas.Descritores: Tumores Odontogênicos; Odontoma; Tomografia Computadorizada de Feixe Cônico.ReferênciasJayam C, Bandlapalli A, Patel N, Choudhary RS.

Viewing Habits

Background: Television (TV) viewing creates tremendous influence on daily life; hence concerns have been raised on viewers, especially in preschool age group children. An existing literature has documented significant correlation between TV viewing and various behavior related problems among the other age groups. This study attempted to assess TV viewing habits in preschool children.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out over a period of 2 years at the tertiary health care center and a total of 500 children between 2 to 5 years of age, visiting the center, were included. Pre-validated 32 item questionnaire was used to collect data regarding television viewing habits from parents/guardians. TV viewing >2 hours was considered as excessive as per American academy of pediatrics (AAP) recommendation. Data analysis was done in SPSS version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and statistical differences were computed by ‘chi-square test’ and ‘paired t test’. Results: There was statistically significant association between TV viewing and subject’s behavior. ‘Becoming angry on switching off TV’ was the most protuberant behaviour; followed by ‘imitating TV characters’ among the subjects.  In addition to these effects on food habits, sleep pattern and play activity were also noted with excessive TV viewing group.Conclusions: The current study reported a negative influence of TV viewing on behavior, sleep patterns, food habits and play activities of preschool age children. Parents should implement multipronged strategy like scheduling TV watching duration, limiting child’s total screen time, supervising and guiding child’s TV viewing activities to make better use of television for their children.
