Abstract | BACKGROUND: Although pathology in the maxillary and mandibular bones is rare in young patients, the differential diagnosis is broad. The World Health Organization (WHO) updated its classification of maxillofacial bone pathology in 2017. Using these updated guidelines, a systematic review of common maxillofacial bone lesions in the pediatric population was performed. METHODS: A PubMed search was conducted capturing English language articles from inception to July 2020. Thirty-one articles were identified that described the frequency of maxillofacial bone pathology. Data were extracted and organized using the WHO 2017 classification of odontogenic and maxillofacial bone tumors. Prevalence data were analyzed among diagnostic categories and geographical regions. The SAS version 9.4 was used to complete statistical analyses. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review uses the WHO 2017 guidelines to classify common odontogenic and nonodontogenic maxillofacial bone lesions around the world. Pathogenesis, presentation, and available treatment options for the most common maxillofacial bone lesions are reviewed.
