Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the histopathological examinations of biopsy samples obtained from patients, and to determine the prevalence, age, and gender distribution of intraoral benign lesions. The study examines the distribution of all benign intraoral pathologies, including both soft tissue and hard tissue lesions, through which the goal is to contribute to clinical diagnostic processes. Methods: The histopathological evaluation results of 235 patients who underwent biopsy between 2021 and 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Out of 235 patients, 123 (52.34%) were female and 112 (47.66%) were male. Lesions were categorized into two groups: soft tissue lesions and intraosseous lesions. The frequency, gender distribution, and age ranges of these lesions were assessed. Lesions exhibiting dysplasia or malignancy were excluded from the study. Results: The most common benign intraoral lesion was identified as the radicular cyst, observed in 69 patients. The age range for radicular cysts varied from 8 to 80 years, with 30 cases in females and 39 in males. The most frequently encountered soft tissue lesion was traumatic fibroma, which constituted 25.33% (19 patients) of all soft tissue lesions. Traumatic fibromas were observed in patients aged between 12 and 62 years. In terms of overall prevalence among all benign intraoral pathological lesions, radicular cysts ranked first (29.36%), followed by periapical granulomas (15.31%), dentigerous cysts (11.06%), and traumatic fibromas (8.08%). The occurrence of soft tissue lesions was significantly higher in females (66.66%) compared to males (33.34%). Conclusions: There are no recent studies in the literature evaluating the prevalence and demographic distribution of intraoral benign lesions. The most common lesions diagnosed in the study are typically associated with inflammation and irritation. The most common hard tissue lesion was the radicular cyst, which was seen across a wide age range and in similar proportions in men and women. Among soft tissue lesions, traumatic fibroma was the most common, particularly in women, and was seen across a wide age range. In terms of gender distribution, soft tissue lesions were twice as common in women as in men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
