developmental and odontogenic cysts day 1 Flashcards
non-odontogenic cysts
NP duct cyst and median palatine cyst
CYST DEFINITION
Epithelial lined pathologic cavity
Nasopalatine Duct Cyst
* where?
* common?
* arises from?
* what type of teeth?
* demo?
- Incisive Canal Cyst
- Most common non-odontogenic cyst of oral
cavity - A developmental cyst that arises from epithelial remnants of nasopalatine duct
- Vital teeth
- Adults - 4th to 6th Decades
NP duct cyst
when is there pain/drainage with NP cyst
when 2 infection occurs
Signs/Symptoms associated with
Nasopalatine Duct Cyst
upper limit for normal canal radio app
- Radiolucency - 0.6 cm is the upper limit of normal for the incisive foramen
- Swelling of anterior palate
- Drainage and pain, if inflamed
what can be in the walls of a NP duct cyst
vessels, nn, and inflammatory cells
dif dx of median palatine cyst to NP duct cyst
MP cyst usually more posterior
Median Palatine Cyst
* app?
* histo
*difficult to distinguish from?
]* Well-circumscribed palatal lucency
* Epithelium entrapped during fusion of palatal shelves
* Stratified squamous or pseudostratified columnar, possible cilia
* May be difficult to distinguish from Nasopalatine Duct Cyst (identical histo)
median palatine cysts
8/9 with NP duct cyst
teeth are vital
types of odontogenic cysts
INFLAMMATORY CYSTS AND DEVELOPMENTAL CYSTS
INFLAMMATORY ODONTOGENIC CYSTS
Periapical Cyst
Residual Cyst
Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
Periapical Cyst (Radicular Cyst)
where? from what cells? radio?
- Apex of non-vital tooth
- Arises from rests of Malassez
- well defined unilocular radiolucency
median vs NP cyst
radiographically: median palatine cyst will be more posterior
clinically: more posterior swelling on palate
tooth is noon vital, what could this be?
PA cyst, abcess, or granuloma
