ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe the profile of oral lesions diagnosed at the OPaDCORE Laboratory in Indonesia from 2016–2019. Methods: A cross-sectional observational design was used, analyzing histopathological, mycological, and cytological data including clinical diagnosis, gender, age, and anatomical location. Results: Among 98 tissue biopsies, radicular cysts (15.3%), epithelial dysplasia (13.3%), and periapical granuloma (12.2%) were the most common lesions. Oral lesions were more prevalent in females (64.3%), with periapical granuloma being the most frequent, while radicular cysts dominated in males (20%). Age group analysis revealed dentigerous cysts in children, periapical granuloma and dentigerous cysts in adults, and epithelial dysplasia in the elderly. Among 133 mycological smears, candidiasis was more frequent in females, predominantly of the pseudomembranous type (41.7%). Of nine cytology smears, most malignancy screenings were done on males. Conclusion: Oral lesions were predominantly found in adult females, with radicular cysts being the most common lesion observed.
