Abstract

Oral cancer is a global health problem with increasing incidence and mortality rates, which is why screening programs have been implemented for the population in some countries. On the other hand, the presence of the most relevant risk factors for these diseases in the population of Manabi Province, Ecuador is recognized, especially the consumption of alcoholic beverages, smoking, high insolation, characteristic of the region as a protective factor of these pathologies. The objective of the work was to diagnose oral lesions in some localities of Portoviejo, Ecuador. An exploratory descriptive epidemiological study was carried out during the period 2013 to 2016. The study population in the first stage was the general population of the parishes of 18 de Octubre, Riochico, San Placido, Crucita, Colón, of the San Pablo sector, of the military fort Manabí, Ecuador, and the dental clinics of the Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo. The most relevant risk factors for the population studied were the consumption of alcoholic beverages, smoking, sun exposure and the use of ill-fitting prostheses. The diagnostic results of the studied population show leukoplakia with 29 cases and squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity with nine cases. It is concluded that the high prevalence of lesions such as oral cancer found shows the importance of including the systematic examination of the oral cavity in dental practice, a fact that can drastically reduce the incidence and prevalence of oral cancer.
