The early diagnosis of Oral Cancer and the clinical detection of several potentially malignant lesions can be achieved by the opportunistic Screening of the Oral Mucosa of patients that search for dental assistance. The aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of the origin and prevalence of malignant lesions of the oral mucosa as well as the potentially malignant disorders on patients assisted at the Stomatology and Oral Pathology Clinic of the Naval Dental Center (Odontoclínica Central da Marinha-OCM), from May 2011 to April 2018. The method used was the analysis of the clinical digital charts during this period. Independent variables were gender, age, skin, tobacco use, alcohol use; while dependent variables were the existence of malignant or potentially malignant disorders. Forty-five malignant lesions and 177 potentially malignant disorders were recorded. Among them, 25 malignant lesions and 136 potentially malignant disorders were diagnosed at the OCM. This study showed the importance of active search for lesions of oral cavity and the detection of several lesions of oral cavity by the diverse areas in Dentistry. |
