A retrospective analysis of uptaking dental treatment by patients with neoplasms of the oral mucosa in outpatient settings
Keywords: precancerous diseases of the oral cavity, oncopathology, oncoscreening, oncological alertness, oral cancer
To improve the quality of rendering dental care, it is necessary to analyze dental morbidity and to establish the reasons for seeking dental care. Of particular interest in the structure of dental morbidity are patients with diseases of the mucous membrane, which cause the development of precancerous and oncopathology, which subsequently leads not only to a significant deterioration in the quality of life of the population, including those of working age, but to an increase in mortality as well. The purpose of the study was to analyze uptaking specialized dental treatment at the AI "Republican Dental Clinic" under the Health Ministry of Chuvashia. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, the medical dental records (form 043/y) of patients treated at the AI "Republican Dental Clinic" under the Health Ministry of Chuvashia from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 were selected. The data presented in the Medical Information System "Statistics" was also used. Based on the collected materials, a database was compiled for further analysis of the data obtained according to the selected parameters: gender and age of patients, type of dental care (emergency or routine), nosologies established at the time of treatment, corresponding to the ICD-10 codes. Results. In total, 24,451 patients uptook medical care to the AI "Republican Dental Polyclinic" under the Health Ministry of Chuvashia in 2024: 9,919 men (40.57%), 14,532 women (59.43%). The largest group consisted of patients of the most able-bodied age: 30–49 years (31.06%) and 50–69 years (24.21%). Predominance of women was observed in all age groups. The same trend was observed when analyzing the gender and age composition of the first-time dental patients according to the type of medical care provided. At this, there were no significant differences between men and women among patients with urgent conditions. The prevalence of oral mucosa; diseases was less than 1% of all those who applied to the Republican Dental Clinic for the first time – 160 persons (0.07%), which indicates a low incidence of patients seeking dental care for this pathology. At this, there is no tendency to decrease in the prevalence of malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity, late-stage detectability and mortality in the territory of the Chuvash Republic. Conclusion. With the continuing trend towards the leading role of inflammatory oral cavity diseases among the causes of the primary seeking specialized dental care by the population, a low incidence of uptaking dental aid by patients with oral mucosal diseases, primarily precancerous ones, has been revealed against the background of a high prevalence of malignant oral neoplasms in the territory of the Chuvash Republic.
