The aim of this investigation was to study the characteristics and age-related diagnoses of these oral surgeries, as well as to describe the surgical procedures performed in a pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery service. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, observational, and relational study was conducted on children and adolescents aged from 0 to 22 years who were treated in a pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery service at a children\u2019s hospital. Results: We analyzed 1311 surgical interventions (51.4% were on boys and 48.6% on girls), consisting of 24.8% soft tissue surgeries, 65.9% bone and dental tissue surgeries, and 9.3% mixed tissue surgeries. The most common pathologies were tooth eruption disorders (65.9%), followed by ankyloglossia (20.5%). The most frequent treatment was wisdom teeth extraction (31.3%). A statistically significant association (p &lt; 0.05) was found between surgical treatments and variables such as age, sex, tissue type, and biopsy. Conclusions: This study enhances our understanding of pediatric oral surgery, emphasizing that the most common pathology is altered tooth eruption, while the most frequent surgical intervention is the extraction of wisdom teeth at different stages of development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13185427","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,13]],"date-time":"2024-09-13T03:03:37Z","timestamp":1726196617000},"page":"5427","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Retrospective Analysis of 1311 Oral Surgery Procedures Performed in a Pediatric Hospital in Barcelona: A Study of Their Characteristics and Age-Related Diagnoses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1156-0743","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elvira","family":"Ferr\u00e9s-Amat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital HM Nens, HM Hospitales, 08009 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), 08195 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service Institut Ferr\u00e9s Amat, 08021 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3398-8679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Guinot-Jimeno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), 08195 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Service of Pediatric Dentistry, Hospital HM Nens, HM Hospitales, 08009 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5325-6929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana","family":"Veloso-Dur\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), 08195 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Josselyn","family":"\u00d1aupari-Pocomucha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), 08195 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eduard","family":"Ferr\u00e9s-Amat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital HM Nens, HM Hospitales, 08009 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service Institut Ferr\u00e9s Amat, 08021 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine and Oral Public Health Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), 08195 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-9068-2841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jordi","family":"Prats-Armengol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital HM Nens, HM Hospitales, 08009 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), 08195 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Mareque-Bueno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital HM Nens, HM Hospitales, 08009 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9710-3131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eduard","family":"Ferr\u00e9s-Padr\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Service of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Hospital HM Nens, HM Hospitales, 08009 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Sanitaria HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service Institut Ferr\u00e9s Amat, 08021 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"35","article-title":"Oral surgery in paediatric dentistry: Type of surgical treatment and age distribution in a Public Dental Service in Northern Italy","volume":"21","author":"Capurro","year":"2020","journal-title":"Eur.
