Summary

  1. 1.

    There was in an apparent sex predilection for male (male to female ratio is 1. 9:1).

  2. 2.

    The peak incidence was in the second and third decades with gradual decline thereafter, and a mean age of 31 years 7 months.

  3. 3.

    The most common site was the mandibular molar-ramus region. 22 cases (68.8%) occurred in the mandible and 10 cases (31.3%) in the maxilla.

  4. 4.

    The largest number of keratocysts were originally diagnosed as primordial cysts (37.5%), followed by dentigerous cysts (18.8%) and residual cysts (9.4%).

  5. 5.

    Radiographs showed various degrees of dental root resorption in 13 out of 25 cases (52%).

  6. 6.

    Maxillary keratocysts tended to exhibit a unilocular type and smooth round border, while mandibular keratocysts had scalloped border.

  7. 7.

    Eleven out of 21 cysts were clinically combined with infection, and 8 cysts showed only bony swelling and 2 cysts were found in the routine radiographic examination.
