In addition, the prevalence of periapical cyst (78.3 vs. 21.7%) and pyogenic granuloma (82.4 vs. 17.6%) were significantly higher in women than men (P-Value=0.035).The highest rates of periapical cyst (43.5%) and pyogenic granuloma (58.5%) were observed in the age group ≤30 and 31-40 years; respectively (P-Value=0.013).
