Abstract
Out of 846 cyst-like lesions of the jaws, 367 cases were retrieved from the files of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Ulm and classified according to the new World Health Organization's classification for odontogenic tumours and cysts. Radicular and residual cysts comprised 56.9%, dentigerous cysts 21.3%, odontogenic keratocysts 10.6%, unicystic ameloblastomas 4.1%, nasopalatine duct cysts 2.7%, glandular odontogenic cysts 1.6% and paradental cysts, traumatic bone cysts, calcifying odontogenic cyst and lateral periodontal cyst each less than 1% of the sample. Nearly one third of the specimens were obtained from military patients; despite an expected bias towards young males, unicystic ameloblastomas presented one and a half decades later than is generally reported.
