Odontogenic Cysts Flashcards
cyst (definition)
pathological cavity lines by epithelium and contains fluid
2 types of inflammatory cysts
periapical (radicular) cyst
buccal bifurcation cyst
inflammatory cysts happen because of
some inflammatory process
most common odontogenic cyst
periapical cyst
developmental cysts happen
de novo (by themselves)
types of developmental odontogenic cysts
dentigerous cyst
eruption cyst
odontogenic keratocyst
orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst
gingival cyst of newborn
gingival cyst of adult
lateral periodontal cyst
glandular odontogenic cyst
most common developmental cyst
dentigerous cyst
source of cells for epithelial lining in periapical cyst
cell lining from rests of mallassex
radiographic findings of periapical cyst
round to ovoid radiolucency
apex of non-vital tooth
histopathological findings of periapical cyst
variably thick, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial lining
rushton bodies
sheets of foamy histocytes
cholesterol clefts
root canal fillings material
treatment options for periapical cysts
- enucleation with extraction
- endodontic therapy (chances of recurrence are high)
when do residual cysts result?
if lesion is not removed
preferred location of buccal bifurcation cyst
buccal aspect of mandibular first permanent molar
predisposition to buccal bifurcation cyst
teeth with enamel extensions into the furcation fo rotos
clinical features of buccal bifurcation cyst?
-age 5-13
-buccal tenderness, swelling, foul-tasting discharge
-1/3rd cases bilateral
radiographic features of buccal bifurcation cyst
- well circumscribed lucency <2.5cm
- occlusal view most characteristic (lingual tilt)
treatment of buccal bifurcation cyst
enucleation
extraciton unnecessary
relationship with tooth for dentigerous cyst
forms around the crown of an impacted tooth
must have impacted teeth for diagnoses
