Article Synopsis
- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is primarily seen in older patients, but recent studies indicate a rise in cases among younger individuals (under 40 years).
- A study analyzed 10,727 OSCC cases from 1998 to 2018 across different regions, identifying 626 cases in young patients, with the highest prevalence in Manipal, India.
- No significant increase in OSCC cases among young patients was found overall, with some regions like Hong Kong showing a decreasing trend, and most young cases presented with risk habits, particularly males affected at the tongue and floor of the mouth.
The objective of this study was to review the medical records of patients with a history of mandibular angle fracture who were attended at the Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology of FOAr/UNESP in the last 5 years. The data collected were subjected to chi-squared test (significance level of 5%). The authors reviewed 19 medical records.
