Clinical statistics of odontogenic cysts in West Malaysia.
A study was made of the clinical statistics of odontogenic cysts treated at two hospitals in West Malaysia over a 6-year period. The general incidence of the individual cyst-types is similar to that reported in previous studies. A marked difference in the age distribution of radicular cysts emerged and 80% of the residual cysts in the survey occurred amongst the Chinese population. Reasons for the distribution variation are discussed.
