Characterization of Radiolucent Lesions in Patients’ Maxillary and Mandible Systems in a Radiology Center
Abstract
Introduction. Radiolucent lesions of the maxillary and mandible system arise from odontogenic and non-odontogenic structures. This project’s objective is to describe the characteristics of radiolucent lesions in patients’ maxillary and mandible systems in a radiology center. Methodology. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed. The population is represented by 1,000 panoramic radiographs. The sample was comprised of 105 cases selected by convenience and non- probability sampling. The radiographs were taken with a Gendex 9,000 panoramic device, by one same operator, and they were analyzed by a qualified researcher. Results. Most radiolucent lesions were located in the age group of 50 to 59 years of age (30=28.6%), in males (54=51.4%) and on the mandible (83=79.0%). With respect to tooth structure, most lesions were located on the periapical portion (65=61.9%). Regarding their form, it was predominantly irregular (68=64.8%) with diffuse edges (51=48.6%) and a unilocular internal structure (74=70.5%). In no case was a statistically significant association evident (p>0.05). Discussion. The great diversity of observed diagnoses can be explained by geographical, social and cultural conditions, as well as the biological process of aging and conditions inherent to the data collection site. Conclusions. Most lesions were located on the mandible. With respect to tooth structure, they were periapical, with diffuse edges and present in the age group of 50 to 59 years of age. The lesions were mostly irregular with diffuse edges and an unilocular internal structure.
