Despite World Health Organization recommendations to encourage more epidemiological assessment of oral mucosal variations and lesions, the volume of literature in this area is limited. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of fissured tongues among patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology in a tertiary care centre. Data was collected from 12 March 2023 to 10 May 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the same institute. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Out of 540 patients, the prevalence of fissured tongue was 73 (13.51%) (10.63-16.40, 95% Confidence Interval). A total of 34 (46.57%) were males and 39 (53.42%) were females. Conclusions: The prevalence of fissured tongue among patients visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology was higher than other studies done in similar settings.Publication Periodontal Lesions among Maxillary Sinus Mucosal Thickening Visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of a Tertiary Care Centre(Nepal Medical Association, 2024) Bali, Harleen; Neupane, Manisha; Mahanta, Swagat Kumar; Niroula, Deepa; Upadhyaya, Chandan; Kafle, DashrathAbstract Introduction: Maxillary sinus due to its proximity to posterior maxillary teeth could be affected by their pathology. Since cone beam computed tomography is the go-to for 3-D imaging in dental set-up. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of periodontal lesions among maxillary sinus mucosal thickening visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of a tertiary care centre from 01 February 2021 to 30 June 2021 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. The medical records from 01 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 were retrieved. The identification of maxillary sinus mucosal thickening of more than 3 mm, in cone beam computed tomography images, was registered separately for the right and left sinuses of each patient. The presence of periodontal lesions of posterior teeth was recorded. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 195 maxillary sinus mucosal thickening, periodontal lesions were found in 74 (37.95%) (31.14-44.76, 95% Confidence Interval) maxillary sinuses of 46 patients. The mean age was 53.67±12.72 years and 30 (65.21%) were males. Conclusions: The prevalence of periodontal lesions among maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in CBCT images was similar to other studies done in similar settings.
