Background: Odontogenic keratocyst is relatively common developmental odontogenic lesion occurring with a frequency of approximately 10-14% of all jaw cyst. Aim: To find the clinic-radiologic pattern of odontogenic keratocyst cases. Study design: Descriptive cross sectional. Methodology: Present study was conducted at Pathology and diagnostic Medicine, Khyber Medical University Peshawar in which 83 patients were enrolled. An OPG x-ray was done for all the patients to see the nature of the lesion. Surgical specimens were stored in formalin solution. After gross examination, they were evaluated histopathologically for diagnosis of Odontogenic keratocyst according to WHO criteria2. Data was collected through performa by non-probability convenient sampling following ethical approval. Data was evaluated by using SPSS version 23. Quantitative data was presented as mean ± SD. Categorical data was presented by frequency and percentage. Chi square was applied with p-value <0.05 as significant. Results: Almost 55.4% were male patients. Almost 45.8% patients were in the 4th decade of their life. The mandible was the most common site of involvement accounting for 68.7%. An impacted tooth was associated in 26.5% of cases. Conclusion: It was concluded that OKC involved mandible while occurring in 4th decade of life among males commonly. There was an association with an impacted tooth, therefore to rule out the presence of odontogenic keratocyst, all impacted teeth should be assessed. Key words: Impacted Tooth, Multilocular, Odontogenic Keratocyst and Satellite Cyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
