The patients with odontogenic keratocysts varied in age from 9 to 65 years, and the mean age of patients was 28.9 years. 26 cases of odontogenic keratocyst were seen during third decade of life followed by 21 cases reported during the second decade of life. Males were found to be more commonly affected than females. The mandible (59.7%) was more often affected than the maxilla mainly mandibular molar to ramus area (n=41). The majority 46 (52.88%) of these lesions were asymptomatic and 41(47.12%) patients had symptoms such as swelling, pain, pus discharge, trismus or fever due to pericoronitis. 21% of the patients presented recurrence after the surgery mainly in second and third decade of life.
