Abstract
Abstract Purpose: This article compares the demographic features of the anterior midline maxillary odontogenic keratocyst with those in other regions. Materials and Methods: The data on 18 cases of anterior midline maxillary odontogenic keratocyst were reviewed. Results: Thirteen of the cases were in men (72.2%), and 16 of the patients (88.9%) were past the age of 60 years. The mean age of the patients was 69.9 years, which is much higher than for odontogenic keratocysts in other locations. The most common clinical diagnoses were periapical cyst and nasopalatine duct cyst. Conclusion: It is important to include odontogenic keratocyst in the differential diagnosis of anterior midline maxillary radiolucencies, especially when they occur in older individuals.
