Abstract

Introduction: Odontogenic tumors and cysts involves a significant feature of oral maxillofacial pathology. Objectives: This study was done to assess the prevalence of odontogenic tumors and cysts. Methods: Data of odontogenic cysts and tumors diagnosed between 2012 and 2018 were collected from the files of the Department of Oral medicine and oral Pathology. Results: 89 (88.1%) cases were cyst and 12 (11.9%) were tumors out of 101 cases. Highest number of cyst and tumors lesion were observed during 22-40 (47.2% and 50%)and 41-60-year (34.8% and 33.3%) age duration respectively. Maximum lesions were observed after 6 months of time. Cyst and tumor had more female predilection compared to male. Maximum lesions were observed anterior maxilla and middle and posterior mandible area for both genders. Radicular cyst was predominantly found followed by dentigerous cyst and odontoma, ameloblastoma and other lesions. Prevalence of radicular cyst was statistically highly significant (P>0.001). Radicular cyst (94.1%) were mostly located at anterior maxilla, dentigerous cyst found more at middle and posterior mandible (69.2%). Maximum case of radicular cyst (80.9%) were operated with enucleation while 12.3% by enucleation and 33.3% by excision for dentigerous cyst. Conclusion: The prevalence of odontogenic cysts was comparable to that described in the literature, with inflammatory cysts occurring most commonly. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
