CYSTS Flashcards
Wall relatively uninflamed with thin & irregular lining & edentulous in the area
Residual cyst
What cyst derive from Rest of Malassez
Radicular cyst
Residual cyst
What is the formation of a radicular cyst
- chronic inflammation in the periradicular tissues causing a periapical granuloma
- stimulates rest of malassez
- central degradation & necrosis
What cyst is rare, asymptomatic, uni- locular, lateral to tooth & adjacent teeth vital
Lateral periodontal cyst
What cysts are dervived from reduced enamel epithelium
Dentigerous cyst
Which cyst is associated with impacted teeth, evenloped to CEJ and radiolucent
Dentigerous cyst
What cyst has no radiopacities/ radiolucencies but appear blue & overlie incisors
eruption cyst
What cysts are dervived from dental lamina
Odontogenic keratocst
Which cysts have a spreading growth pattern, presence of satellite cysts
odotonogenic keratocytes
What gene are OKC development associated with
PTCH gene (tumour suppressor gene) responsbile for basal cell carcinomas
What cyst has a :
- corrugated surface
- lined by parakeratinised stratified squamous
- basal epithelial layer is well defined
Odontogenic keratocyte
What makes odontogenic keratocytes consistent with neoplasms
high occurence rate
premative (spreading) recurrence rate
aggressive behaviour
What cyst has a high reoccurence rate, more common in the mandible- body/ ramus
odontogenic keratocyte
What cyst presents radiographically as:
- well defined- rounded/ scalloped margins
- unilocular/ multilocular
envelope tooth
odontogenic keratocyte
What is mutliple odontogenic keratocytes indicitative of?
Gorlin gotz syndrome
What is gorlin goltz syndrome
- frontal and pareital bossing & broad nasal root
- mutiple BCC
- Multiple OKCs
- skeletal abnormalties (bidfi ribs & abnormalities in vertebrae)
- intra-cranial abnormalities ( calcification of falx cerbie)
What cyst presents in the posterior body of the mandible
- cystic with flecks of calcifciations
- roots of teeth are eroded in association with lesion
- has poorly defined margins
Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour
