A Seven Year Retrospective Clinico Pathologic Analysis of Fibro Osseous Lesions in A Tertiary Dental Health Care Centre
Fibro osseous lesions pose a diagnostic difficulty as they are not distinguishable histologically. Here, a 7 year retrospective clinic pathologic analysis of fibro osseous lesions was studied in Govt. Dental College, Trivandrum. Confirmed fibro osseous lesions reports between the months of August 2008 July 2015 were retrieved. The lesions were selected on the basis of WHO 2005 classification of fibro osseous lesions. Patient's clinical data including the age, gender, anatomic location and diagnosis was retrieved. Data was entered in excel sheet and the percentage prevalence of the cases was done. It was seen that the number of cases that reported to the Department was 34 which is only about 1% of total cases that reported to the Department. Out of this 61.77% of cases were cemento ossifying fibroma, 32.36 fibrous dysplasia and 5.88% central giant cell granuloma. 97.06% of cases were females and 2.94% were males. In 67.65 mandible was affected, 29.42% affected maxilla and 2.94% affected zygoma. Mean age of those affected was 29.06 years with maximum prevalence seen in the age groups of 11 20 and 31 40 years. Among those affected 11.76% showed non expansile lesions, 47.06 showed buccal, 2.94% lingual and 38.24 showed bilateral expansion. It is seen that fibro osseous lesions affects mostly females especially in the third decade. Cemento ossifying fibroma represented the majority of the lesions and most were buccally expanding lesions Prospective studies are needed to be done as why and what seem to be the cause of the lesion.
