Clinical Trial Summary

This retrospective study will evaluate the patient collective of the Division of Oral Surgery and Orthodontics, Department of Dental Medicine and Oral Health and of the Division of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery at the Medical University Graz concerning the frequency of epulis/giant cell lesion or underlying differential diagnoses and immunophenotypes as well as the resulting treatment methods and their success and compare these with international results

Description:

Different histopathological differential diagnoses can underlay the clinical presentation of an epulis. Often the immunophenotype of these lesions is of particular importance. This also holds for the the central giant cell lesion.

This study will evaluate the patient collective of the Division of Oral Surgery and Orthodontics, Department of Dental Medicine and Oral Health and of the Division of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery at the Medical University Graz concerning the frequency of epulis/giant cell lesion or underlying differential diagnoses and immunophenotypes as well as the resulting treatment methods and their success and compare these with international results.

This is a retrospective study using electronic patient records, written records, operative reports of the Division of Oral Surgery and Orthodontics, Department of Dental Medicine and Oral Health and of the Division of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery at the Medical University Graz in the period from 1986 to March 2018. It is intended to gather the data within 12 months and analyze statistically subsequently.
