Abstract
This retrospective study was performed to investigate the frequency of sexual-, senile-, and anatomic area-related distribution of odontogenic cysts and tumors in relationship with an impacted tooth during a seven-year period (2003-2010) using registered records in archives of oral pathology department of Babol dental school as well as re-examining the microscopic slides to confirm that the patients were accurately diagnosed as having odontogenic lesions. Dentigerous cyst was the most common lesion and also the most frequent odontogenic cyst, mostly occurred during the second decade. Unicystic ameloblastoma was the only odontogenic tumor diagnosed. The left side of the posterior mandible was involved by lesions more commonly and the third molar was the most frequent involved tooth.
