    The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between retention cysts and dentoalveolar pathologies using digital panoramic radiographs in Lima, 2018. This was an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 183 digital panoramic radiographs from patients who visited the stomatological imaging center to request these radiographs at the recommendation of their treating dentist. A representative sample of 183 digital panoramic radiographs was determined through simple random sampling for proportions. The following variables were collected: retention cyst, dentoalveolar pathologies, periodontal disease, root canal treatment, pulp pathology, sex, and age. The data were processed using SPSS version 24.0. Statistical significance was determined using the Chi-square test to evaluate relationships between variables with a significance level of p<0.05. The results revealed a significant presence of retention cysts in the right maxillary sinus (15.3%). Retention cysts were more frequently observed in females and adolescents. Among patients, 9.4% with root canal treatments, 13.6% with pulp pathology, and 22% with periodontal disease presented retention cysts. A statistically significant relationship was found between the presence of retention cysts and pulp pathology and root canal treatment, but not with periodontal disease.
