Most common (%)
Epithelial cell rests of malassez

Paradental cyst
Dentigerous cyst
Origin and location
Development
Specific symptoms (3)
Types (3)
Commonest type of developmental cyst formed by fluid accumulation between crown and REE of impacted teeth
Usually 3rd molars or Max canines, males, 10-30
- Teeth fail to erupt so REE persists
- Fluid accumulates over crown and REE forms epithelial lining
Root resorption of adjacent teeth, displacement, discharge
- central variety
- lateral variety
- circumferential variety
Dentigerous cyst
Radiographically
Histology
Inflamed histology(3)
Complications (3)
Unilocular radiolucency associated with crown of unarupted tooth with well defined sclerotic border unless infected
Cystic lining - 2-4 layers cuboidal epithelium with flat interface to wall
Connective tissue wall- loosely arranged fibrous wall which may contain small islands of inactive odontogenic epithelial rests
Inflamed dentigerous cyst- increased collagenisation of wall, infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells, epithelial hyperplasia with rete ridges and squamous lining
Complications - ameloblastoma, squamous cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Eruption cyst
Origin and location Development Specific symptoms Histology Treatment
Soft tissue version of dentigerous cyst occurring due to separation of dental follicle from crown of erupting tooth within gingiva
Gingiva over erupting tooth
- Separation of dental follicle from crown of erupting tooth
Swelling with bluish tinge over unerupted tooth
Cystic lining- non keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
Connective tissue wall- fibrous wall with inflammatory cells
Cystic cavity- yellow protein fluid, may contain blood
Most burst spontaneously, alternatively incision and drainage allows for eruption
Keratocyst
Origin and location
Development
Associated genes or syndromes
Symptoms
Developmental cyst developing from undeveloped tooth, can be syndromic or sporadic and have a high reoccurrence rate
Tooth primordeum, males, 3rd decade, posterior mandible or maxilla
- Tooth primordeum degenerates and undergoes cystic changes
Gorlin Coltz syndrome, mutated PTCH gene
Missing tooth
Keratocyst
Radiographically
Histology
Multilocular radiolucent lesion
Cyst lining- 6-8 layers stratified squamous epithelium with flat interface, luminar surface has parakeratotic epithelium, basal layer shows basal palisading
Connective tissue wall- thick and friable, satellite cysts (reoccurrence)
Cystic cavity- transudate of serum, keratinous debris
Gingival cyst of adult
Origin and location
Development
Symptoms
Histology
Uncommon cyst developing in gingiva from remanence of dental lamina located in superficial part of alveolar mucosa
Buccaly on canine or premolar region of mandible
- Cystic degeneration of epithelial rests of serres in dental lamina
Small whitish bulge
Cystic epithelial lining with cavity filled with desquamated keratin
Periodontal cyst
Origin and location
Development
Radiographically
Histology
Uncommon non keratinised developmental cyst located lateral to root of vital tooth
Dental lamina remanence
- Proliferation of dental lamina remanence in jaw bone
Well defined Unilocular radiolucency lateral to involved teeth, with involved teeth vital
Glycogen rich clear cells
Radicular cyst
Origin and location
Development
Symptoms (5)
Types (3)
Commonest odontogenic cyst developed through inflammation
First molars, pulp necrosis following caries or trauma
- Inflammation of pulp and periradicular area causes apical periodontitis
- Abscess formation
- Periapical granuloma formation
- Inflammation of epithelial cell rests of malassez leads to cystic transformation
Caries, trauma, previous pulpitis, mobility, discharging sinus
- apical
- lateral
- residual
Radicular cyst
Radiography
Histology
Well defined radiolucency around apex
Loss of lamina along adjacent root
Root resorption
Radiographic appearance identical to granuloma
Cystic lining- uniform layer sse derived from ECRoM which may desquamate into lumen
Connective tissue wall- mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate
Cystic cavity- may contain dystrophic calcifications, cholesterol clefts, RBCs
Fibro osseous neoplasms:
Cemento ossifying fibroma
Location and aetiology
Histology
Radiography
Uncommon benign slow growing neoplasm causing painless swelling in mandible molar or premolar region
70-80% mandibular, age 20-40, females
Bone and cementum like areas surrounded by cellular fibrous tissue
Sharply defined encapsulated well circumscribed radiolucent lesion with varying amounts of radiopaque material, associated displacement or root fusion of adjacent teeth
Fibro osseous neoplasms:
Cemento ossifying fibroma
Variant - juvenile ossifying fibroma
Treatment
Juvenile ossifying fibroma is an agressive varient of COF found in under 15s
Regular lesions- enucleated
Large tumours- may require local resection and bone grafting if jaw distorted
Recurrence rare but densely mineralised lesions are relatively avascular and can develop into chronic osteomyelitis following dental extraction
Cemento osseous dysplasia
Aetiology
Management
Types (3)
A non neoplastic disturbance of growth and remodelling of bone and cementum, it is the most common fibro osseous lesion of jaw
90% in females, particularly african decent, 30-50
Do not require treatment except for cosmetic reasons
- periapical cemento osseous dysplasia (PA tissues)
- florid cemento osseous dysplasia (multiple teeth in more than one quadrant)
- focal cemento osseous dysplasia (single lesion on one tooth)
