Abstract :Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of climate on the prevalence of retention cysts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RCs); in different geographical regions by comparing the prevalence of RCs in a Turkish patient population in the Black Sea and Eastern Anatolian regions. Materials and Methods: Patients were scanned using panoramic radiographs. Panoramic radiographs of 17,659 patients from the archives of two centers were reviewed. Results: The prevalence of RCs was 1,6 % in the Black Sea region and 0,4 % in the Eastern Anatolian region. Males were affected more than females and there was no correlation observed between age groups in either study group. A total of 169 RCs were detected with a mean size of 3,7 cm 2 in the Black Sea region while 37 RCs were detected in the Eastern Anatolian region with a mean size of 7 cm 2 . Most of the patients from the two centers were dentate and had dental pathologies in the teeth adjacent to the sinus. The correlation between cyst size and patient age was not significant. Conclusion: This paper shows that RCs were more prevalent in the geographical regions that have higher temperature.
