摘要：Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of odontogenic tumours and cysts of maxillofacial area. Materials & methods: Eighty cases of odontogenic tumours and cysts of maxillofacial region is reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery were included for the study. The extent of the lesion, size, location and related with adjacent structures was noted. All cases were managed in department of oral surgery. Results: Among tumors ameloblastoma found in 18 (22.5%), Keratocystic odontogenic tumor(KCOT) in 8 (10%), Calcified epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) in 3 (3.75%), complex odontoma in 2 (2.5%), compound odontoma in 7(8.75%), odontogenic fibroma in 3 (3.75%), cementoblastoma in 1 (1.25%), primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma in 2 (2.5%) and ameloblastic carcinoma in 1 (1.25%), fibroscarcoma 2 (2.5%). Cysts were radicular cyst in 13 (16.25%), residual cyst in 6 (7.5%) and dentigerous cyst in 14 (17.5%). A significant difference was observed (P< 0.05). Conservative management was performed in 19 (23.75%), excision in 31 (38.75%), enucleation in 22 (27.5%), en bloc resection in 4(5%) and marsupialisation in 4 (5%). A significant difference was observed (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Maximum cases were seen in age group 18-27 years, males had higher prevalence than females. Most common benign tumour was ameloblastoma and cyst was radicular cyst.
