cortigated border, well defined
to dx cysts, must find
clinical, radiographic, and microscopic features
3 inflammatory cysts
buccal bifurcation cyst, radicular and residual cyst
where does the epitheilum come from if a cyst is in the bone
reduced enamel epithelium, enamel organ, dental lamina, HERS, rests of malassez
only way to really tell what something is is through
microscopic evidence
most of the cysts are lined by what type of epithelium
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
radicular cyst
necrotic deris and bacteria of nonvital pulp
inflammation stimulates with and forms a cysts
most common cyst of the jaw
radicular cyts
radicular cysts have what kind of border
corticated
healing cysts looks like
bone grows from outside in with rolled border
residual cyst happens
after extraction without curettage and lining is left
lateral periodontal cyst
75-80% in pm/canine area
mandible>max
associated with vital or nonvital cysts
less than 1cm
lat periodontal cyst can look like
lat radicular cyst. must test for vitality (nonvital can be both)
most common developmental odontogenic cyst
dentigerous cyst
features of dentigerous cyst
