Comparison among unruptured cyst group, ruptured group without rete ridge, and ruptured group with rete ridge by cyst diameter, cyst area, and thickness of wall
| Parameters | Unruptured (n=256) | Ruptured | Significance (p-value) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| ||||||
| Rete ridge(-) (n=70) | Rete ridge(+) (n=33) | a | b | c | ||
| Cyst diameter (mm) | 5.84±3.24 | 5.23±3.37 | 3.40±2.15 | 0.168 | 0.000 | 0.001 |
| Cyst area (mm2) | 42.70±48.79 | 36.34±43.63 | 14.75±20.18 | 0.323 | 0.000 | 0.001 |
| Thickness of wall (μm) | 71.21±64.17 | 102.60±67.05 | 210.68±130.68 | 0.000 | 0.000 | 0.000 |
a: Unruptured group vs rete ridge(-) ruptured group, b: Unruptured group vs rete ridge(+) ruptured group, c: Rete ridge(-) ruptured group vs rete ridge(+) ruptured group. The mean cyst area of ruptured group with rete ridge showed difference with unruptured group (P<0.05), whereas the ruptured group without rete ridge did not show difference (P>0.05).
