Abstract:
Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most common oral disorders, followed by other oral lesions, e.g., of the mucous membranes. This study aimed to identify the pattern and expression of oral mucosal lesions in a pediatric population. 100 patients between 3 and 16 years of age from the department of pediatrics in a multispeciality hospital were examined. The majority of them had oral lesions (68%), with traumatic ulceration being the most common.
