Abstract
Purpose
This study was conducted in order to gain insight in the actual ratio of odontogenic keratocysts occurring in the tooth-bearing area as compared to the posterior region of the jaws in order to come up with reliable data to base upon a rational treatment policy.
Methods
We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases for studies reporting on the location of mandibular and maxillary odontogenic keratocysts. All records were independently assessed and a meta-analysis was performed. Risk difference with a confidence interval of 95% of having the lesion in the posterior region versus the tooth-bearing area was the effect measure. P value for the summary effect of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
The 2615 records retrieved were reduced to 34 studies to be qualitatively/quantitatively assessed. The pooled values showed that the difference in the clinical risk of having keratocysts in the posterior region of the mandible and in the tooth-bearing area of the maxilla is 21 and 43%, respectively (P < 0.02 and P < 0.00001).
Conclusions
A substantial amount of keratocysts occur in the tooth-bearing area of the jaws, requiring attention.
