Oral potentially malignant disorders: clinical-pathological correlations in a dental institution in North Carolina
Objective
To investigate the prevalence and diagnostic accuracy of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) in North Carolina, focusing on the agreement between clinical impressions and microscopic diagnoses.
Study Design
This retrospective study analyzed 76 patient records from the East Carolina University Oral Pathology Biopsy Service. Clinical impressions of OPMDs, including leukoplakia, erythroplakia, and chronic ulcers, were compared with histopathological diagnoses. Data were collected using HIPAA-compliant software, and Cohen’s Kappa was used to evaluate diagnostic agreement.
Results
The patient cohort had a mean age of 62.2 years, with 65.7% male and 60.5% identifying as Caucasian. The most common lesion locations were the lateral tongue (32.8%) and alveolar ridge mucosa (27.6%). Minimal agreement was observed between clinical impressions and microscopic diagnoses (Kappa: 0.0266 ± 0.0682, P = .6965). Smoking and alcohol use were significantly associated with higher grades of oral epithelial dysplasia.
Conclusion(s)
The study highlights significant diagnostic challenges in identifying OPMDs based on clinical impressions alone, emphasizing the need for histopathological evaluation. Improved diagnostic training and public health interventions are essential to enhance early detection and reduce the burden of oral cancer in North Carolina.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
