About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Analysis of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathological Lesions in Egyptian Children

determination of the relative frequency of oral and maxillofacial pathological lesions among the Egyptian children and compare it with the global reports.

Read the detailed description

Oral and maxillofacial pathology in pediatric patients differs from the general population, as the nature of lesions in children changes with growth and development. Oral and maxillofacial pathology encompasses a wide spectrum of diseases, some of which (i.e. aphthous ulceration, geographic tongue, and herpes labialis) can be diagnosed on clinical presentation alone. For other soft tissue diseases and for pathology with bony components, incisional or excisional biopsy is mandatory to establish a definitive diagnosis .

Several studies illustrated that oral and maxillofacial pathology in pediatric populations varies based on the geographic location of the population as racial and environmental specificities and the lifestyle of each population may influence the prevalence of these diseases .

Although there is increasing literature regarding the incidence and prevalence of pediatric oral and maxillofacial pathology, there is no study investigating the range and frequency in Egyptian children.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mouth Diseases, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of oral and maxillofacial pathological lesions among Egyptian children (time frame: one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2020.
