All the participants underwent oral clinical examination. The prevalence of oral squamous cell carcinoma, class 3 malocclusion and cystic lesions of jaw was assessed.

Out of 25 subjects having cysts, 12 subjects presented with odontogenic keratocyst, 8 patients presented with dentigerous cyst and 5 subjects had radicular cyst. In group 1, 33 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were present. 42 subjects with class 3 malocclusion were present in group 2 and 25 subjects with cysts were present in group 3. In this study, there were total 55 males and 45 females. There were 21 males and 12 females in group1, 23 males and 19 females in group 2 and 11 males and 14 females in group 2.
