Summary
This study analyzed 874 epulis cases, finding a higher incidence in females and individuals in their fifties. Maxillary incisor region was the most common site for epulis development.
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Dental oncology
- Tumor epidemiology
Context:
- Epulis, a benign oral tumor, presents diverse histological subtypes.
- Understanding epulis epidemiology is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Purpose:
- To statistically analyze a large cohort of epulis cases diagnosed over two decades.
- To identify demographic and topographic patterns in epulis occurrence.
Summary:
- A retrospective analysis of 874 epulis cases from 1966-1986 at Tokyo Dental College.
- Epulis fibrosa was the most common type (344 cases).
- Higher prevalence observed in females (539 cases) and individuals in their fifties, with frequent occurrence in the maxillary incisor region.
Impact:
- Provides valuable epidemiological data on epulis, aiding clinicians in diagnosis.
- Highlights demographic trends that may inform future research and clinical management strategies.
- Contributes to the understanding of oral tumor distribution and characteristics.
