Q

What is the soft tissue counterpart of the lateral periodontal cyst?

A

Gingival Cyst of the Adult

30
Q

Gingival cyst of the adult arises from what cells?

A

Rests of dental lamina

Mandibular canine/premolar area

32
Q

What is this?

A

Gingival cyst of the adult

33
Q

Why is this not a mucocele? What is it?

A

lateral periodontal cyst

35
Q

Where do lateral periodontal cysts usually present?

mandibular canine/premolar/lat. incisor area

36
Q

Usually unilocular, what is lateral periodontal cyst called when multilocular?

A

Botryoid Odontogenic Cyst

37
Q

What is this counterpart of gingival cyst of the adult?

lateral periodontal cyst

38
Q

What is this?

Q

What is also called a Gorlin Cyst?

A

42
Q

Compared to Gingival Cysts of the Adult, where do Calcifying Odontogenic Cysts mostly occur?

A

Incisor/canine area of either mx or md

43
Q

What radiographic feature(s) do calcifying odontogenic cysts have?

A
  1. Unilocular
  2. RL

Ghost cells

45
Q

What is this?

A

Calcifying odontogenic cyst

46

Which pathology characteristically develops on the buccal bifurcation aspect of the mandibular first permanent molar?

A

Buccal Bifurcation Cyst

52
Q

What demographic do buccal bifurcation cysts appear?

A

children, usually around 10 yrs

Peripheral ameloblastoma

66
Q

Painless, non-ulcerative, sessile lesion on retromolar pad. What could this be?

A

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT)

69
Q

Where does the RL extend to, in adenomatoid odontogenic tumors?
