Resumo:
The recognition of lesions that affect the oral cavity is essential for professional practice in
dentistry and the knowledge of the frequency with which these conditions arise is essential to
establish the diagnosis. Therefore, epidemiological studies have an important role in health
and in relation to dentistry. The present work was accomplished to determine the prevalence
of oral lesions at the clinical school of dentistry of the Federal University of Campina Grande
correlating gender, age and race of patients. Through analysis of 541 records for two years, in
the period 2012 to 2014, it was found that the most prevalent injury is fibrous hyperplasia
with 33.3% followed by mild epithelial dysplasia with 16.6% of the samples. The most
affected gender was female 55%, the afrocaucasian patients totaling 56% melanodermic 35%
Caucasian and 9%. The age varies between the 2nd and 3rd decade of life.
