Data from this study has been compared with data from other studies published between 2015 and 2017 dealing with the prevalence of oral lesions.

The most incident lesion found on our results was fibrous hyperplasia, followed by the reaction lesion and nonneoplastic lesions. Gercica (2015), in her study, has also found that fibrous hyperplasia also appeared as the most recurrent lesion. Other studies have yielded fewer specific results, however, reporting the occurrence of nonneoplastic proliferative processes or soft-tissue reactive lesions. We have concl...
