A disorder that is present at and existing from the time of birth.

56
Q

Cyst

A

An abnormal sac or cavity lined by epithelium and surrounded by fibrous connective tissue.

61
Q

Fusion

A

The union of two adjacent tooth germs.

A radiographic appearance in which many circular radiolucencies exist; these can appear “soap bubble-like” or “honeycomb-like.”

68
Q
