Résumé

Des cas de kystes de la mâchoire traités dans le département de chirurgie orale et maxillo-faciale de l'Université du Nigeria, Hôpital d'enseignement, Enugu pendant une période de 10 ans, de 1987 à 1996, sont cliniquement étudiés. Un diagnostic de kyste de la mâchoire a été établi chez 20 patients durant cette période. En accord avec la méthode de classification pathologique de l'O.M.S., ces patients en comprenaient 10 (50 %) avec kyste dental, 3 (15 %) avec kyste radiculaire, 3 (15 %) avec kératokyste odontogénique, 3 (15 %) avec kyste fissural (kyste du canal nasopalatin, kyste nasoalvéolaire, kyste globulomaxillaire), 1 (5 %) avec kyste dermoïde. Les patients avec kyste dental qui étaient trouvés avec une relativement grande fréquence étaient analysés plus profondément en fonction de l'âge, du sexe et de la distribution anatomique. Parmi les patients avec kyste dental on compte 60 % âgés de 21 à 40 ans. Les hommes furent plus nombreux que les femmes avec un ratio 1,5 : 1. Les kystes dentaux apparaissaient plus fréquemment dans la région mandibulaire de la dent de sagesse. Le relativement petit nombre de cas, le besoin d'une plus grande recherche à ce sujet et le besoin d'éduquer le public sur une hygiène orale sont mis en évidence.

Abstract
Statistical observations on jaw cysts in Enugu, Nigeria, 1987-1996

Cases of jaw cysts treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu during the 10 year period between 1987 and 1996 were studied clinically. A diagnosis of jaw cyst was established in 20 patients during the above period. According to pathological classification by the WHO method, these patients included 10 (50%) with dentigerous cyst, 3 (15%) with radicular cyst, 3 (15%) with odontogenic keratocyst, 3 (15%) with fissural cyst (nasopalatine duct cyst, nasoalveolar cyst, globulomaxülary cyst), 1 (5%) with dermoid cyst. Patients with dentigerous cyst, which was found at relatively high frequency, were further analyzed with regard to age, sex, and anatomical distribution. Among patients with dentigerous cyst, those aged between 21 and 40 years accounted for 60%. Males outnumbered females in a ratio of 1.5:1. Dentigerous cyst occurred most frequently in the region of the mandibular wisdom teeth. The relatively very small number of cases, the need for more research on the subject and the need to educate the general public on oral hygiene are highlighted.
