16
Q

Why do radicular cysts form?

A

Non-vital pulp = periapical granuloma
Ongoing inflammation = tissue destruction = granulation tissue formation
Cause proliferation odontogenic epithelium

17
Q

Likely source of epithelium in radicular cyst?

A

Cell rests of malassez - arise in PDL

18
Q

How does epithelium proliferation occur in cyst?

A

Inflammatory infiltrate acts upon epithelium = stimulate grow

19
Q

How goes radicular cyst grow?

A

Accumulation of fluid - hypertonic so draws fluid - this causes pressure in cyst causing expansion

20
Q

Treatment options for radicular cyst?

A

Unrestorable - XLA and enucleatre

Restorable - endodontic and peri-radicular surgery

21
Q

What note when describing radiograph?

A
General overview inc caries
Radiolucency 
- Definition
- Size
- Extension
- Associated displacement - teeth/ ID
- Associated resorption 
- Corticated
- Expansion
22
Q

Different types of follicular cyst?

A

Dentigerous - associated w/ impacted tooth

Eruption

23
Q

On histology where does follicular cyst attached tooth?

A

ACJ

24
Q

Is any inflammation wall of dentigerous cyst?

A

No

Developmental odontogenic cyst

25
Q

What is wall and lining of dentigerous cyst?

A
Wall = fibrous connective tissue, no inflammation
Lining = thin non-keratinised SSE
26
Q

Source of lining for dentigerous cyst?

A

Reduced enamel epithelium

27
Q

What teeth are commonly affected by dentigerous cysts?

A

Lower third molars
Maxillary canines
Second mandibular premolars

28
Q

What appearance is common for odontogenic keratocyst on X-ray?

A

Scalloped egden

29
Q

Differential diagnosis for odontogenic keratocyst?

A

Radicular cyst

Odonotgenic tumour

30
Q

Where is most likely site for odontogenic keratocyst?

A

Posterior mandible - most common site of dental lamina

31
Q

What is the epithelial lining of odontogenic keratocyst?

A

Para-keratinised SSE

See nuclei parallel - nuclear palisading

32
Q

Source of epithelium in odontogenic keratocyst?

A

Dental lamina

33
Q

What clinical tests can help establish diagnosis of odontogenic keratocyst?

A

Sensibility testing - rules out radicular cyst
Imaging - if any expansion
Aspiration cyst content

34
Q

Do see expansion with odontgenic keratocyst?

A

No

More likely to see in tumour

35
Q

Why do odontogenic keratocyst recur?

A

Thin fragile lining

Daughter cells

36
Q

What condition is odontgoenic keratocyst often seen in?

A

Gorlin goltz

37
Q

Differential diagnosis for radiolucency in anterior maxilla?

A

Radicualr cyst

Nasopalatine duct cyst

38
Q

What is epithelium on nasopalatine duct cyst?

A

Columnar pseudostatified epithelium (respiratory)

39
Q

Source of epithelium for nasopalatine duct cyst?

A

Remnants of epithelium from fusing of palatine shelf and pre-maxilla
