A research about the traumatic bone cyst (TBC) of the jaws was realized with propose to study the frequency of TBC in orthodontic treated patients and discuss its possible etiopathogenic relationship. The material was constituted by two sample. The sample number 1 was composed of 28 cases of TBC and the sample number 2 was constituted by 8 cases found in 956 orthodontic treated patients. The results allowed us to verify that: the most of patients were in second decade; 69.23 per cent of sample number 1 was involved in orthodontic treatment, and 30.77 per cent of patients showed a positive history of trauma. The patients of sample number 2 showed a high frequency of TBC in orthodontic treated patients, though 50 per cent of the cases were detect in the initial orthodontic records. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the access of the population to specialized dental treatment reveals more lesions than it was previously thought there cold be, and the orthodontist plays an important part in the diagnosis of the TBC.
