Prevalence of geographic tongue on students of SD Saraswati 2, Denpasar

Geographic tongue is a disorder which appears on the tongue in the form of an asymptomatic lesion, but its existence is rarely known, thus the prevalence of this disorder tends to be low. This disorder is strongly suspected to be influenced by genetic fac-tors and other predisposition factors. Several studies have revealed that this lesion occur more frequently on women than on men. The purpose of this research is to determine the prevalence of geographic tongue, based on the age and gender, among the stu-dents in SD Saraswati 2 Denpasar. The research is conducted using the descriptive epidemiology research method, and the re-sults attained are presented in a table and explained descriptively. The samples are all students from the 1st grade until the 6th grade with an overall total of 584. The research results show that the prevalence of the geographic tongue disorder is 28 people (4.80%). There were 15 girls (5.17%) who were afflicted, while there were 13 boys (4.42%). This disorder appeared most in the age group of 7 years old. This study found that 3 people (0.51%) claimed there are symptoms or pain, while the remaining 25 people (4.28%) do not show any symptoms or pain.

Clinical Orodental Anomalies in Taiwanese Children under Age Six: a Study Based on the 1995-1997 National Dental Survey.

There are few published studies that report the prevalence of intraoral anomalies for young children. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and distribution of several congenital oral and paraoral anomalies in Taiwanese children under age six. Twenty-five cities and townships were randomly sampled in different areas of Taiwan using the stratified method. These cities and townships represent cross-sectional samples of geographic locations and socioeconomic levels. A total of 981 Taiwanese children under age six were examined with dental mirrors and explorers as part of the national dental survey. The results of this survey indicated an 11.31% prevalence of geographic tongue. This number is higher than that reported in studies previously performed in different countries. The occurrence of double teeth in primary dentition was found to be 2.14%. Ankyloglossia had a frequency of 1.22%, and primary talon cusp a frequency of 0.61%. Seven (0.71%) children exhibited fissured tongues. Thirteen (1.33%) cases of hypodontia were found. These values were different from those reported in several other countries, which may be attributed to differences in the ethnic and racial composition of the population studied.

Geographic tongue and psoriasis: clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical and genetic correlation - a literature review.

Geographic tongue is a chronic, inflammatory, and immune-mediated oral lesion of unknown etiology. It is characterized by serpiginous white areas around the atrophic mucosa, which alternation between activity, remission and reactivation at various locations gave the names benign migratory glossitis and wandering rash of the tongue. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with frequent cutaneous involvement and an immunogenetic basis of great importance in clinical practice. The association between geographic tongue and psoriasis has been demonstrated in various studies, based on observation of its fundamental lesions, microscopic similarity between the two conditions and the presence of a common genetic marker, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) HLA-C*06. The difficulty however in accepting the diagnosis of geographic tongue as oral psoriasis is the fact that not all patients with geographic tongue present psoriasis. Some authors believe that the prevalence of geographic tongue would be much greater if psoriatic patients underwent thorough oral examination. This study aimed to develop a literature review performed between 1980 and 2014, in which consultation of theses, dissertations and selected scientific articles were conducted through search in Scielo and Bireme databases, from Medline and Lilacs sources, relating the common characteristics between geographic tongue and psoriasis. We observed that the frequency of oral lesions is relatively common, but to establish a correct diagnosis of oral psoriasis, immunohistochemical and genetic histopathological analyzes are necessary, thus highlighting the importance of oral examination in psoriatic patients and cutaneous examination in patients with geographic tongue.

Prevalence of Geographic tongue and Related Predisposing Factors in 7-18 Year-Old Students in Kermanshah, Iran 2014.

Geographic tongue is a benign lesion at the dorsum and margins of the tongue that sometimes causes pain and burning sensation. This lesion is characterized by an erythematous area with white or yellow folded edges. The predisposing factors of this lesion include heredity, allergies, psoriasis, stress, fissured tongue and consumption of some foods. The present study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of geographic tongue and its related factors among the 7-18 year-old students in Kermanshah, Iran. This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in three schools in Kermanshah using multi-stage random cluster sampling method. A total number of 3600 students were examined (1800 girls and 1800 boys). Demographic data and the results of examinations were recorded in a questionnaire. The factors affecting the incidence of geographic tongue were analyzed by the SPSS-20 software and the Chi-square test. The prevalence of geographic tongue was 7.86% (283 individuals). The incidence of this lesion was significantly higher in males than in females (p<0.01). There was no relationship between geographic tongue and psoriasis or fissured tongue. Pain and discomfort during eating was more prevalent in those with geographic tounge compared to those without this condition (p<0.02). The prevalence of geographic tongue among the studied population was 7.86%, and the prevalence of geographic tongue in male students was higher than in female students.

Clinical orodental abnormalities in Mexican children

A total of 32,022 Mexican children (16,473 boys, 15,549 girls) were examined for several congenital oral and paraoral anomalies. The findings for commissural lip pits (boys 53.1, girls 52.4 per 1000) are less than those reported for adults. This may indicate that pits become accentuated with age. Fordyce granules were seen with a prevalence of 1.2 per 1000. This is in contrast to the reported 85.6% prevalence for the adult population, also possibly reflecting increased manifestation with increased age. Our data for exogenous tooth pigmentation show increased prevalence with age (group I [5 to 10 1 2 years], 9.8%, versus group II [ 10 1 2 to 14 1 2 years], 12.9%), possibly indicating decrease in attention to oral hygiene. The prevalence of talon cusp was found to be 0.6 per 1000, and for ankyloglossia 8.3 per 1000. Prevalence values for bifid tongue are reported for the first time, indicating one affected per 187 children examined. The prevalence of fissured tongue (15.7%) shows a statistically significant difference between boys (16.8%) and girls (14.5%). The prevalence of geographic tongue (1.9%) shows a marked difference between group I (2.2%) and group II (1.2%).

Geographic tongue: Sensitivity to the environment

The prevalence of geographic tongue was assessed among 102 atopic patients with extrinsic asthma and/or rhinitis and was found to be significantly greater in these patients than in an asymptomatic, nonatopic control population. However, there was no difference between the prevalence of geographic tongue among atopic patients with extrinsic asthma and rhinitis as compared to a group of patients with asthma and rhinitis who were not atopic. These findings suggest that geographic tongue is a sign common to those patients who have a tendency to develop recurrent acute inflammatory disease on surfaces in contact with the external environment (for example, asthma or rhinitis), whether they are atopic or not.

Scrotal tongue and geographic tongue: Polygenic and associated traits

The familial nature of scrotal and geographic tongue was investigated in parents and siblings of 156 probands having these conditions. The prevalence in parents and siblings was significantly higher than that in the control populations. The prevalence in siblings from families in which at least one parent was also affected was significantly higher than that in siblings from families in which neither parent was affected. The prevalence of scrotal tongue alone in siblings was similar irrespective of the condition in the proband. The prevalence of geographic tongue alone was highest in siblings of probands having only geographic tongue. A polygenic mode of inheritance with some genes common to both conditions is suggested.

The prevalence of scrotal tongue and geographic tongue in 70,359 israeli school children.

abstract The prevalence of scrotal and geographic tongue among 70,359 Israeli schoolchildren was examined according to age, sex and father's country of birth. Scrotal tongue was observed in 1.96 % of the population, but increased with age from 0.60 % at 7 years to 3.76 % at 12–18 years. Males had a significantly higher prevalence. There were significant differences in the prevalence among the different population groups examined, in that the Ashkenazi had a higher prevalence (2.17 %) than both the non‐Ashkenazi (1.93 %) and the Israeli (1.70%). Prevalence of geographic tongue was 1.14% and was not associated with age. Males had a significantly higher prevalence. The differences between the population groups were significant. A highly significant association was found in the occurrence of scrotal and geographic tongue.

Prevalence of geographic tongue, fissured tongue, median rhomboid glossitis, and hairy tongue among 3,611 Minnesota schoolchildren

The prevalence of four tongue conditions among 3,611 Minnesota school-children was determined and compared with the results of other surveys which were judged to be free of potentially important biases in sampling. Geographic tongue affected 1.41 per cent of the children. Analysis of this and other surveys indicates that the prevalence of this condition differs in no important respect according to age or sex, although the possibility that it may be significantly greater among the very young (2 to 3 years of age) needs exploration. Fissured tongue affected 1.08 per cent of the children, a somewhat lower prevalence than in other surveys. Age and sex differences were not significant. Three children were affected with both fissured and geographic tongue. Median rhomboid glossitis and hairy tongue were rare, affecting 0.14 and 0.06 per cent of the children, respectively. The occurrence of median rhomboid glossitis in young children is compatible with its supposed developmental etiology. Conversely, the extreme rarity of hairy tongue in ostensibly healthy children is compatible with the concept that it is frequently associated with adverse oral conditions resulting from systemic or oral disease.
