Abstract:

 Aim: This study aims to retrospectively evaluate five years of oral biopsy results obtained from pediatric patients aged 016 in Konya, and to analyze the distribution of pathological findings by age and gender. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, biopsy samples collected from pediatric patients admitted to the Faculty of Dentistry at Necmettin Erbakan University between 2019 and 2024 were examined. A total of 84 patient records were reviewed. Histopathological diagnoses were obtained from archived pathology reports. Data were statistically analyzed using PSPP v2.0.0 software. Results: Of the 84 patients, 54.8 n46 were male and 45.2 n38 were female. The majority of cases occurred in the 1316 age group 50.0, while the fewest were in the 68 group 14.7. The most common lesion group was cysts and pseudocysts 53.7. Dentigerous cysts 28.6, odontomas 20.2, and radicular cysts 17.9 were the most frequent diagnoses. In 8,3 of cases, no definitive pathological diagnosis could be established. Conclusion: The findings provide updated and region-specific data on the distribution of oral pathologies among the pediatric population in Konya. These results may contribute to improving early diagnosis and developing effective treatment strategies in pediatric dental care.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Konya ilinde 016 yaş aralığındaki çocuk hastalardan alınan beş yıllık ağız içi biyopsi sonuçlarını retrospektif olarak değerlendirerek, elde edilen patolojik bulguların yaş ve cinsiyet dağılımına göre analiz edilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, 20192024 yılları arasında Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesine başvuran çocuk hastalardan alınan biyopsi örnekleri incelenmiştir. Toplam 84 hastanın biyopsi verileri değerlendirilmiş, histopatolojik tanılar arşiv kayıtlarından elde edilmiştir. Veriler PSPP v2.0.0 programı kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen hastaların 54,8i erkek n46, 45,2si kız n38 olup; en fazla vaka 1316 yaş grubunda 50,0, en az vaka ise 68 yaş grubunda 14,7 gözlenmiştir. En sık rastlanan lezyon grubu kistlerpseudokistlerdir 53,7. Dentigeröz kist 28,6, odontoma 20,2 ve radiküler kist 17,9 en yaygın tanılar arasında yer almıştır. Olguların 8,3ünde ise tanı konulamamıştır. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular, Konya ilindeki pediatrik popülasyonda ağız içi patolojilerin dağılımına dair güncel ve bölgesel veri sunmaktadır. Bu verilerin, erken tanı ve uygun tedavi yaklaşımlarının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
