Abstract

Objective: To correlate two distinct pathologies that have erroneously received the same designation in literature, in order to establish standardization, avoiding contradictions in diagnosis and wrong treatment and check their incidence in the patients. Material and methods: Periapical radiographs from the records of 629 patients of the Dental Clinic of Faculty of Dentistry of UNIFENAS were analyzed. The Test of Difference Proportion (Z) at the level of 1% significance was used. Results: The average age of the patients of the sample was 30.82 years and for the patients with one or both pathologies the average was 23.32 years. The incidence of pathologies reached 3.82%. 15 patients (2.54%) presented cemento-osseous dysplasia. One patient presented both pathologies. Seven (1.27%) presented condensing osteitis. Conclusion: The cemento-osseous dysplasia prevailed over condensing osteitis and the first lower molars were found to be the most affected teeth. The condensing osteitis presented greater incidence on the right side. As to the cemento-osseous dysplasia the Caucasian people were the prevailing group. DESCRIPTORS: Pathology Oral. Diagnosis. Radiography Dental.
