Abstract
Objective: To study the pathological result, the number, sex, age, location, and treatment of cystic lesions of the jaw at Buriram Hospital.
Setting: Department of Dentistry, Buriram Hospital.
Research design: Retrospective study
Subject: 42 Thai patients who had undergone biopsy with known pathological result at Buriram Hospital during the period January 2002 to November 2006.
Method: All cystic lesions of the jaw diagnosed at Department of Oral Pathology, Chulalongkorn University and Khonkaen University during the period January 2002 to November 2006 were assessed for number, sex, age, location, and treatment in this study.
Results: 43 cysts in the jaw bones were removed from 42 patients, of whom 23 were males and 19 were females with ages ranging from 6-77 years. The average age of the patient was 31.62, SD = 18.74. 19 cases (45.24%) were classified as dentigerous cysts, 17 cases (40.48%) as radicular cysts, 5 cases (11.90%) as odontogenic keratocysts and 1 case (2.38%) as paradental cyst. Dentigerous cysts occurred most frequently in 2nd decade and found in relation to the maxillary canine and mandibular third molar.
Conclusion: Over a five-year period, 43 cysts in the jaw bones were removed from 42 patients. Dentigerous cysts were the most common cysts of the jaws followed by the radicular cysts, keratocysts and paradental cyst. Accurate diagnosis is essential for proper patient therapy and follow-up. A diagnosis based solely on clinical information can be problematic. In many cases, histologic examination of surgically removed tissue is necessary to establish a definitive diagnosis.
Key words: Odontogenic cyst, jaw bones, oral
