Abstract

Objectives: There are relatively few systematic studies, documenting the PREVALENCE of mucosal disorders in children and ADOLESCENTS.The purpose of this study was to determine the PREVALENCE of ORAL LESIONS in 12- to 15-year olds living in Tehran and to assess the possible relationship between the occurrence of these lesions and gender.Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed in which 1020 ADOLESCENTS were participated. The sample size was based upon an expected oral lesion PREVALENCE of 25%, a precision of 0.05 and a confidence level of 99. Epi-info version 6.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results: Two hundred eighty-six ADOLESCENTS (28.0%) were diagnosed with at least one oral mucosal lesion at the time of the examination.The PREVALENCE of any oral mucosal lesion was 29.2% among the boys and 26.9% among the girls. With the exception of melanotic macules, there were no statistically significant differences in oral mucosal lesion PREVALENCE by gender.Conclusion: More than 28% of the ADOLESCENTS were found to have at least one oral mucosal lesion. Melanotic macule was found to be proportionally more common in boys than girls.
