BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the range of all histologically diagnosed odontogenic cysts along with age range, sex distribution and site of presentation over a 30-year period. METHODS All entries for odontogenic cysts occurring during 1975-2004 inclusive were retrieved and analysed for demographic data. RESULTS A total of 55,446 specimens were received, of these 7121 (1...

Start developing at 20 weeks gestation. Cysts and tumors in the mandible: a retrospective clinical trial. Cystic 6, intraosseous tumors of odontogenic origin, with a characteristic lining.July 19: Odontogenic Cysts, Tumors, and Related Jaw Lesions. Odontogenic cysts are defined as epithelial-lined structures derived from odontogenic.Overall, odontogenic tumors are rare and form only a small pro...

The calcifying odontogenic cyst represents a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibits a variety of clinicopathologic and behavioral features. Therefore, a proper categorization of the cases is needed for better understanding of each variant. Ameloblastoma is one of the well-known odontogenic tumors that could be associated with calcifying odontogenic cyst. Very few cases of ameloblastomatou...

The Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (GOC) is a rare developmental odontogenic cyst that occurs 75% of the time in the mandible and rarely presents in persons under 20 years of age [1]. The GOC was originally described by Padayachee and Van Wyk [2] in 1987 who reported on two cases of multilocular mandibular cysts with features of both Botryoid Odontogenic Cyst (BOC)and central mucoepidermoid tumor (...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (Pindborg tumor), is a rare benign odontogenic neoplasm representing about 0.4-3% of all odontogenic tumors. This tumor more frequently affects adults in the age range of 20-60 years, with a peak incidence in the 5th decade of life. Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour has a much lower recurrence rate than ameloblastoma and malignant transformation, a...

Lymphomas of the oral cavity represent 5% of all lymphomas. They usually occur in immunocompromised patients. Lymphoma arising within a single bone, without visceral or lymph node involvement, is known as primary intraosseous lymphoma. It is a rare condition and constitutes 3.1% of malignant bone tumors and 5% of extranodal lymphomas. Primary lymphoma of the jaw is seldom seen and it is often m...

Introduction: Descending necrotizing mediastinitis is a rare complication of odontogenic infections, with a high mortality rate despite the advent of antibiotics. case report: An otherwise well 37-year-old male presented with descending necrotizing mediastinitis secondary to a mandibular second molar infection. He required prolonged targeted antibiotic treatment, extensive oral, neck and thorac...

The infection of the oral cavity is a common public health problem and constant cause for antibiotic prescription, with 10% of antibiotics used to treat this problem. However, few studies have so far aimed to determine its incidence. Added to this, its relationship with certain sytemic diseases (cardiac, endocrine, etc) confers this pathology vital importance. In spite of the frequency and impo...

OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of odontogenic cysts diagnosed histologically over a period of 38 years in a Brazilian population according to age, gender and site affected and to compare these data with previously reported studies from other countries. STUDY DESIGN A total of 1019 cases of odontogenic cysts diagnosed between 1970 and 2007 were studied. Clinical features obtained from...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical presentation, surgical management, and cost implications of inpatients treated for odontogenic infections at a public tertiary care hospital. STUDY DESIGN Specific analysis from 3 years of chart review included length of stay, cost of hospitalization, site of infection, number of infected spaces, microbiology pr...
