Cysts and Odontogenic Tumors Part 2 Flashcards
where is the globulomaxillary position
at the junction of the maxilla with premaxilla, between maxillary lateral incisor and canine
is there a developmental fissural cyst in the globulomaxillary position
no
a developmental “globulomaxillary cyst”:
does not exist
what cysts are found in the globulomaxillary position and what is the prevalence of each
- PA cyst: 50%
- PA granuloma: 15%
- lateral periodontal cyst: 10%
- odontogenic keratocyst: 10%
- giant cell tumor: 7%
- other lesions: 3% such as gorlin cyst, odontogenic myxoma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, neurofibroma, hemangioma
what are the dental lamina cysts
- lateral periodontal cysts
- botryoid odontogenic cyst
- gingiva cyst of adult
- dental lamina cyst of newborn
describe the lateral periodontal cyst and its prevalance
- a developmental cyst that arises from dental lamina rests (rests of Serres)
- vital teeth of adult males (3:1)
- mandibular premolar area
- maxillary incisor-canine area
- unilocular
what is the DDX for lateral periodontal cyst
PA cyst
what is the tx for lateral periodontal cyst
surgery
what is the histological presentation for lateral periodontal cyst
- epithelium, lumen, wall
- epithelium alternates thick and thin areas
describe the botyroid odontogenic cyst
- polycystic variant of the lateral periodontal cyst
- a developmental odontogenic cyst that presents as a multilocular lucency associated with the vital mandibular premolars of adults
describe the gingival cyst of the adult and the prevalance
- soft tissue counterpart of the lateral periodontal cyst
- no radiographic presenation
- a developmental cyst that arises from dental lamina rests (rests of Serres)
- vital teeth of adult males (3:1)
- mandibular premolar area and. maxillary incisor-canine area
what is the histological presentation of gingival cyst of the adult
alternating thick and thin epithelium
what is the tx for the dental lamina cyst of the newborn
will usually resolve on their own
what is the histological presentation of the dental lamina cyst of the newborn
mutliple cystic areas filled with keratin
what are the other names for the palatal cyst of the newborn
- epstein’s pearls
- Bohn’s nodule
