Distribusi variasi suspek kista dentigerous molar ketiga pada radiograf panoramik berdasarkan usia, jenis kelamin, dan lokasi Variation distribution of suspected third molar dentigerous cysts on panoramic radiograph by age, sex, and site

Introduction: Radiological variations of dentigerous cysts consist of three types, central, lateral, and circumferential types. Panoramic radiographs are used because indicated for viewing lesions required a wide range of jaws. Dentigerous cysts are frequently discovered incidentally in routine dental radiological examinations. The study was aimed to determine the variation of third molars dentigerous cysts based on age, sex, and site. Methods: This research was descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The population was panoramic radiographs of suspected third molar dentigerous cysts lesions during 2016-2018 at the Dentomaxillofacial Radiology Installation of Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, which obtained the total sample of 36 radiographs. Results: The highest variation of suspected dentigerous cysts was the central type (77.78%), especially in the late adolescent age group. The central type dentigerous cysts was found in the age group of 19 to 25 years, especially in women (58.30%) located in the maxilla (61.11%). Conclusions: The most found variation of suspected third molar dentigerous cysts found at the Dentomaxillofacial Radiology Installation of Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital is the central type. It is found in the late adolescent age group (19 to 25 years) and occurs mainly in women at the upper jaw.
