Sažetak
Aim To examine the types and frequencies of oral surgery
diagnoses and ambulatory oral surgical treatments during
one year period at the Department of Oral Surgery, University
Hospital Dubrava in Zagreb, Croatia.
Methods Sociodemographic and clinical data on 11 680
ambulatory patients, treated between January 1 and of
December 31, 2011 were retrieved from the hospital database
using a specific protocol. The obtained data were
subsequently analyzed in order to assess the frequency of
diagnoses and differences in sex and age.
Results The most common ambulatory procedure was
tooth extraction (37.67%) and the most common procedure
in ambulatory operating room was alveolectomy
(57.25%). The test of proportions showed that significantly
more extractions (P < 0.001) and intraoral incisions
(P < 0.001) were performed among male patients, whereas
significantly more alveolectomies and apicoectomies were
performed among female patients (P < 0.001). A greater
prevalence of periodontal disease was found in patients
residing in Zagreb than in patients residing in rural areas.
Conclusion The data from this study may be useful for
planning of ambulatory oral surgery services, budgeting,
and sustaining quality improvement, enhancing oral surgical
curricula, training and education of primary health
care doctors and oral surgery specialists, and promoting
patients’ awareness of the importance of oral health.
