Ch7 Flashcards
Dentigerous Cyst derived from
reduced enamel epithelium
Dentigerous Cyst lining
Stratified squamous epithelium
Dentigerous Cyst occurs at
association with an unerupted tooth
Most common side of Dentigerous cyst
Mandibular 3rd molar
Followed by max 3rd molar, max canines
man 2nd premolars, supernumerary teeth and odontomas
Dentigerous cyst clinically
Asymptotic lesions
Discovered incidentally in radiograph
Large cyst lead to
Move teeth
Cause bony expansion
Very large cyst cause
Weakness of bone
Risk for pathologic jaw fracture
Dentigerous cyst in radiography’s
well-defined unilocular radiolucency
sclerotic border surrounds the crown of the tooth.
A large Dentigerous cyst in radiograph
May give impression of a multiocular process
Why a large Dentigerous cyst give multilocular processes
Bc persistence bone trabecula within the radiolucency
What is the central Dentigerous cyst
Radiolucency surrounds just the crown of the tooth
What is the lateral Dentigerous cyst
develops laterally along the tooth root and
partially surrounds the crown
What is the circumferential Dentigerous cyst
the cyst surrounds the crown and the
root surface (entire tooth were located within the cyst).
Any pericoronal radiolucency that is more than 4 or 5 consider
Suggestive cyst formation
Should submitted or microscopic examination
Impact canine root angulation chance of eruption
Marsupialization
Why Biopsy is necessary for all dentigerous cysts
occasional formation of these lesion from the cyst wall
Squamous cell carcinoma
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Ameloblastoma.
Deferential diagnosis
Odontogenic keratocyst
Unicystic ameloblastoma
Adenomatoid odontoginc tumor
Ameloblastic fibroma.
Recurrence of Dentigerous Cyst
Rare
Eruption cyst results from
fluid accumulation within the follicular space of an
erupting tooth.
Eruption cyst epithelium lining
reduced enamel epithelium
Eruption cyst Clinically shows
Bluish
fluctuant swelling in the mucosa over an
erupting tooth.
Eruption cyst common tooth
primary molar, sometimes incisors.
If the cyst is incised, a clear or yellowish fluid escapes.
