Retrospective Evaluation of Odontogenic and Nonodontogenic Cysts in the Jaws in the Series of 147 Cases
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to find the incidence of all jaw cysts diagnosed histologically; to evaluate age, localization and gender distribution and compare the results with the data of previously published studies. It is considered that knowing the distribution of cysts is useful in achieving the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. Material and Method: In our study, a total of 147 patients who were histopathologically diagnosed with a jaw cyst between April 2017 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Biopsies taken by two surgeons were sent for pathological examination. In this study, records of patients from the Pathology Departments at Antalya Training and Research Hospital, Alanya Training and Research Hospital, and Training and Research Hospital of Kutahya Health Sciences University were used. Jaw cysts were evaluated in terms of incidence, age, gender, and localization. Results: In this study, radicular cyst (65.98%) was found to be the most observed cyst. The radicular cyst was followed by dentigerous cyst (20.40%), keratocyst (8.16%), residual cyst (3.40%), nasolabial cyst (0.68%), dermoid cyst (0.68%), and epidermoid cyst (0.68%). Of the cysts, 57.82% were in the mandible, and 42.18% were in the maxilla. The mean age of the patients was 38.34. The ratio of men to women was found to be 1.67/1. Conclusion: Preoperative evaluation in jaw cysts, complete removal of lesions and radiographic follow-up are important for success in…
