Since the epidemiology of diseases is variable between regions, the authors carried out Europe's first paediatric\u2010based survey of oral and maxillofacial pathology specimens submitted for diagnosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design.<\/jats:bold> All entries for specimens from children between the ages of 0 and 16\u00a0years during the 30\u2010year period from 1973 to 2002 were retrieved and compiled into 12 diagnostic categories.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.<\/jats:bold> During the study period, 4406 (8\u00b72%) specimens came from children between the ages of 0 and 16\u00a0years, with a male to female ratio of 1\u00b701. The diagnostic category with the largest number of specimens was tooth pathology (22\u00b71%), followed by salivary gland disease (19\u00b71%) and mucosal pathology (12\u00b71%). In all, there were 114 benign tumours of nonodontogenic origin, 43 odontogenic tumours and 31 malignant tumours. The most frequently diagnosed lesions were mucous extravasation cysts, which accounted for over 16% of cases. Periapical pathology in the form of a radicular cyst, residual cyst or chronic periapical granuloma formed almost 13% of all cases.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.<\/jats:bold> This survey shows that, while nearly 10% of specimens submitted to the authors\u2019 laboratory are from children under 16\u00a0years of age, the majority of lesions are of a benign nature, requiring minimal intervention; less than 1% of cases comprise malignant lesions. Odontogenic tumours are relatively rare in this age group; however, certain lesions such as adenomatoid odontogenic tumour and ameloblastic fibroma occur predominantly in children and, therefore, remain an important diagnostic consideration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-263x.2006.00683.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,8]],"date-time":"2005-12-08T14:40:18Z","timestamp":1134052818000},"page":"19-30","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":145,"title":["An analysis of oral and maxillofacial pathology found in children over a 30\u2010year period"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"A.
