Summary

Epulis, a common oral pathology, is more frequent in females and anterior mouth regions. Histopathological analysis reveals distinct types like pyogenic granuloma (GP) and giant cell granuloma (GGC), with specific age and sex correlations.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Histopathology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Epulis represents a diverse group of oral hyperplastic lesions.
  • Understanding epulis distribution and characteristics is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Previous studies have explored various aspects, but comprehensive analysis linking clinical, epidemiological, and histopathological factors is ongoing.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the distribution of epulis based on clinical, epidemiological, and histopathological parameters.
  • To correlate epulis types with patient sex, age, and lesion size.
  • To explore potential hormonal influences on specific epulis subtypes.

Summary:

  • A study of 195 epulides found higher prevalence in females and anterior oral sextants.
  • Histopathological subtypes include pyogenic granuloma (GP), giant cell granuloma (GGC), fibrous hyperplasia (IF), peripheral fibroma with calcification (FPC), and lympho-plasma-cellular (LP).

  • Significant correlations were observed: GGC more common in males; LP in older adults (46-60 years); GP in middle-aged (31-45 years) and older adults (>60 years). GGC lesions were largest, and IF lesions were smallest.

    • Impact:

    • Provides detailed epidemiological data on epulis, aiding in understanding its occurrence.
    • Highlights specific histopathological subtypes and their associations with demographic factors.
    • Suggests hormonal influences may play a role in vascular proliferation of GP, warranting further research.
    • Offers insights into lesion size variations among different epulis types.
