The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of 5088 odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts over a 40-year period in the Turkish population and to compare results with findings in the literature.
The records of odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts, occurring during 1971 to 2010, were collected and analyzed for anatomic site, age range, and sex distribution.
Among 5088 odontogenic and nonodontogenic cyst biopsies, 5003 cases (98.3%) were classified as odontogenic, whereas only 85 cases (1.7%) were nonodontogenic. In the former group, the most frequent diagnosis was radicular cyst (52.09%), followed by odontogenic keratocyst (20.6%) and dentigerous cyst (10.39%). Maxilla to mandible ratio was 1.13:1. The mean age of patients was 36.33 years (range, 2-87 years). The cysts were slightly more prevalent among male patients (57.70%).
The knowledge of the biological behavior and clinicopathologic features of jaw cysts constitute key aspects to provide early diagnosis and adequate surgery.
本研究旨在确定在土耳其人群中，5088 个牙源性和非牙源性囊肿在 40 年间的流行率，并将结果与文献中的发现进行比较。
收集并分析了 1971 年至 2010 年间发生的牙源性和非牙源性囊肿的记录，以确定其解剖部位、年龄范围和性别分布。
在 5088 例牙源性和非牙源性囊肿活检中，5003 例（98.3%）被归类为牙源性，而仅有 85 例（1.7%）为非牙源性。在前一组中，最常见的诊断是根尖囊肿（52.09%），其次是牙源性角化囊肿（20.6%）和含牙囊肿（10.39%）。上颌与下颌的比例为 1.13:1。患者的平均年龄为 36.33 岁（范围为 2-87 岁）。囊肿在男性患者中略为常见（57.70%）。
了解颌骨囊肿的生物学行为和临床病理特征是提供早期诊断和适当手术的关键方面。
