Frequency and Distributio A Retrospective Analysis

Objectives: Practitioners should be aware of the occur-rence rate and usual location of radiolucent jaw lesions. The aims of this study were to examine the frequency and location of radiolucent jaw lesions, including apical granulomas, apical cysts, keratocystic odontogenic Ras apical granulomas, apical cysts, or abscesses (1). However, lesions of more other radiolucent lesions associated with the jaw contained 30 types of radiolucentthrough the University of Minnesota Dental Student Summer Research program. Clinical Researchjaw lesions, totaling 9,723 lesions (Fig. 1). Demographics evaluated included the location of the lesion; sex; and ethnicity for apical granulomas and cysts, KOTs, CGGLs, ameloblastomas, and metastatic lesions. Age was estimated by subtracting the patient’s year of birth from the year of the biopsy for KOTs, CGCLs, ameloblas-tomas, and metastatic lesions. Associated tooth numbers of each lesion were recorded, and the location was clas-sified as either anterior or posterior within the jaws. Lesions that spanned anterior-pos
