Background: Odontogenic cysts (OC) are the most frequent lesions of the jaws and their constant epidemiological update is necessary and indispensable. Therefore the principal objective of this report was To determine prevalence and clinical-demographical characteristics of OC in a Mexican sample.
Material And Methods: 753 cases of OC coming from the archive of a head and neck histopathological teaching service, from January 2000 to December 2013, were included. OC cases were re-assessed according 2005 WHO classification. Chi square test was used to establish possible associations (<0.05IC95%).
Results: From 753 OC, 369 were female and 384 male; 52.9% of them were in their 2nd- 4th decade of life. The most common location (41%) was the mandibular posterior area. Radicular cysts were more frequent in maxillary anterior zone of females ( 0.0002) at their fourth decade of life. Dentigerous cysts were more frequent in the mandibular posterior zone of males ( 0.0000) in their second decade of life. Six cases of periodontal lateral cyst; 4 cases of paradental cysts; 4 eruption cysts and 4 cases of adult gingival cyst, as well were identified.
Conclusions: Radicular cyst and dentigerous cyst are the most prevalent odontogenic cyst in this Mexican sample. Due to their etiology, dental pulpar necrosis and impacted teeth, radicular cyst and dentigerous cyst could be prevenible. Therefore, it is necessary to establish preventive strategies to diminish dental decay and programs of prophylactic extractions of impacted teeth, to in consequence decrease the prevalence of odontogenic cysts.

To determine the prevalence of oral and maxillofacial lesions among patients at King Abdulaziz University from January 2016 to December 2022. : This cross-sectional observational study included patients diagnosed with oral and maxillofacial intra-bony lesions based on radiological findings and confirmed by histopathological examination. The lesions were classified according to the fourth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Head and Neck Tumors.

Background: Considering the significant participation of the microenvironment in the local aggressiveness of odontogenic keratocysts, this study aims to evaluate the expression of ADAMTS-1 and its substrates, versican, aggrecan and brevican in this locally invasive odontogenic cyst.
Methods: Immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were conducted on 30 cases of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and 20 dental follicles (DFs).
Results: The immunohistochemical expression of these proteins was predominantly cytoplasmic and granular across all samples.

Background: To spare important anatomical structures from damage during treatment of cystic odontogenic lesions, decompression has become a conservative alternative to enucleation. Marsupialization, in combination with the use of a custom-made decompression prosthesis, is an effective method of inducing reduction and bony infill of cystic lesions of the jaw.
Methods: In this case series and review of the literature, we describe three patients with odontogenic cysts of the mandible who were treated with custom-made decompression obturator prostheses (DOP) at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Dental Service.
