ABSTRACT

Objective: To realize an epidemiologic survey of odontogenic cysts in patients from 0 to 14 years old in order to find out the most prevalent lesions of each age period. Methods: 100 histopathologic files of lesions diagnosed as cysts of odontogenic origin were retrieved emphasing their clinic (cystic lesion pattern, gender, age, anatomical site and lesion lenght) and radiographic features, which the surgical specimens were forwarded for the Oral Pathology Service of UFRN. Results: It could be identified that either the male gender, with an age average of 9,78 years, or the mandible posterior and the anterior maxilla region were more involved. Dentigerous cyst was the most prevalent lesions, followed by the radicular cyst. Moreover, a unilocular radiolucence and asymptomatic lesions were more common in the sample. Conclusions: To sum up, it can be infered the outstanding relevance of studies like the present since that it is through than that it can be reached the knowledge of the frequency and incidence of several lesions, especially in paediatric patients in as much as the few knowledge of the cystic lesion prevalence in their jaws.
