Abstract(s)
O médico dentista mantém um papel muito importante na observação e deteção de doenças orais e encontra-se numa posição privilegiada para detetar alterações na boca, já que observa de perto e com regularidade a cavidade oral dos seus pacientes e apresenta conhecimento médico elevado. Na temática da promoção da saúde oral, tal como do bem estar geral, profissionais de medicina dentária têm como dever, obter e alargar os seus conhecimentos acerca das problemáticas que envolvem a população, tais como as doenças orais, e em particular aquelas que atingem a mucosa oral. Como tal, deverão conseguir reconhecer condições alarmantes e aconselhar o doente a procurar um médico assistente ou um especialista para uma avaliação mais profunda e possível tratamento. As lesões benignas podem aparecer em qualquer local da cavidade oral e a maioria, possui características clínicas distintas, com distribuições específicas de idade e sexo e locais preferenciais em que ocorrem na cavidade oral. As características clínicas das lesões orais benignas precisam de ser bem documentadas, pois o diagnóstico diferencial entre lesões benignas e malignas é essencial, e para tal, é importante realizar um diagnóstico adequado. Nesta revisão serão abordadas as doenças benignas que surgem mais frequentemente nos tecidos moles da boca e que podem ter impacto negativo na vida das pessoas. As doenças serão classificadas em lesões benignas de origem infeciosa, lesões benignas de origem inflamatória e tumores benignos. Com este conhecimento o médico dentista é capaz alcançar um papel crucial na prevenção de um grande quadro de patologias com graves consequências que se originam do diagnóstico inadequado ou tardio das doenças orais.
The dentist maintains a very important role in the observation and detection of oral diseases and is in a privileged position to detect abnormalities in the mouth, as he closely and regularly observes the oral cavity of his patients and presents high medical knowledge. With aim of promoting oral health, as well as general well-being, dental professionals have a duty to obtain and extend their knowledge about problems involving the population, such as oral diseases, and in particular those affecting the oral mucosa. Consequently, they should be able to recognize alarming conditions and advise the patient to seek an assistant doctor or specialist for further evaluation and possible treatment. Benign lesions can appear anywhere in the oral cavity and most of them have distinct clinical features, with specific age and gender distributions and preferred sites where they occur in the oral cavity. The clinical characteristics of benign oral lesions need to be well documented, as the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions is essential. This review will address the benign diseases that occur most frequently in the soft tissues of the mouth and that can have negative impacts on people's lives. The diseases will be classified into benign lesions of infectious origin, benign lesions of inflammatory origin and benign tumors. With this knowledge the dentist is able to achieve a crucial role in the prevention of a large picture of pathologies with serious consequences arising from inadequate or late diagnosis of oral diseases.
