ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to determine whether there is any relationship between the presence of removable dentures and squamous cell carcinoma of the anterior two thirds of the tongue in a Portuguese population. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with a biopsy-proven diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, who were seen and treated at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery of the Portuguese Institute of Oncology 'Francisco Gentil', Lisbon, Portugal, during a 3-year period. Several factors were examined gender, use of removable dentures, age, location of the lesion, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. One hundred and six cases were selected from the initial 151 cases, with a malefemale ratio of 31 and the lateral borders being the most commonly affected site. The prevalence in both genders was between the sixth and seventh decade of life. Men were more likely to consume alcohol and tobacco than women, and no relationship was observed between denture use and presence of carcinoma of the tongue. In light of the data obtained, it may be considered that female use of a denture plays an important role, but it cannot be identified as a remarkable etiologic factor.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar se existe alguma relação entre o uso de prótese removível e o carcinoma escamoso dos dois terços anteriores na população portuguesa estudada. Um estudo retrospectivo foi conduzido em paciente com diagnóstico anatomopatologico de carcinoma escamoso dos dois terços anteriores, diagnosticados no Instituto Português de Oncologia, Francisco Gentil, Lisboa desde 1 de Janeiro de 2001 até 31 de Dezembro de 2003. Diferentes fatores foram analisados o gênero, uso de prótese removível, idade, localização, álcool e tabaco. Dos 151 casos iniciais de carcinoma, foram selecionados 106 casos mostrando numa proporção de 31 (masculino/feminino). Os bordos laterais foram a localização mais comum e a prevalência em ambos os sexos sitou-se entre a sexta e a sétima década. A presença de álcool e tabaco foi significativamente mais comum nos homens não se observando relação entre o uso de prótese e a presença do carcinoma na língua. Não se observou relação estatística entre o uso de prótese removível e o carcinoma escomoso dos dois terços anteriores da língua. Face aos resultados, o uso de prótese no sexo feminino desempenha um papel importante ainda que não possa ser considerado um fator etiológico significativo.
