A Retrospective Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Study of the Prevalence of Incidental Odontogenic Cyst Findings in an Indian Subpopulation

Authors(5) :-Nidhi Bajaj, Vinny Gala, Vedanti Tirpude, Adrija Belur, Gabriela Fernandes

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of odontogenic cysts in an Indian subpopulation and compare it with various reports from the other geographic areas of the world. The data files regarding odontogenic jaw cysts diagnosed between 2012 and 2016 at the oral radiology center were retrieved retrospectively. Patient’s demographic information mainly sex and location of the lesion was recorded and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The diagnosis of odontogenic cyst accounted in 115 cases and accounted for 36.97 % of all lesions throughout the period. In total, 115 patients, out of which 72 were males and 43 were females. Radicular cyst was most prevalent histological type (44.34 %) followed by dentigerous cyst (23.47%) , odontogenic keratocyst, lateral periodontal cyst, paradental cyst, residual cyst, adult gingival cyst, glandular odontogenic cyst, calcifying odontogenic cyst. The most common locations of the odontogenic cysts were the mandibular (53.04%). The distribution pattern of odontogenic cyst in this study is relatively similar to that in other parts of the world but there are some geographic differences with regard to the relative frequency, sex, and anatomic distribution of the odontogenic cyst.
