Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions (OMLs) among the elderly in a Chilean population, noting that these conditions are common yet under-researched globally, especially in Chile.
- A retrospective study classified 277 OMLs into various groups, with soft tissue tumors, epithelial pathology, and dermatologic diseases being the most prevalent types identified.
- Findings indicate that common OMLs include irritation fibroma, hemangioma, and burning mouth syndrome; the results suggest a need for improved preventive measures and clinical services for elderly oral health.
