Periapical cyst
2 other names for Periapical cyst
Radicular or apical periodontal Periapical cyst
What are the radiographic signs and vitality tests associated with a Periapical cyst
- Ovoid radioluceny at apex
- Loss of lamina dura
- Asymptomatic, tests non vital
Where and how does a lateral radicular cyst form
- Lateral aspect of root from presence of a lateral canal
What cyst shows inflamed granulation or fibrous CT lined by Non-keratinized SSE
Periapical cyst
What is a Periapical cyst called if there is no lingin
Periapical granuloma
Treatment and Prognosis for Periapical cyst
- RCT, apicoectomy, or extraction w/ curretage
- Excellent but may persist as a residual cyst
What are signs and treatment of a Residual Cyst
- Periapical cyst that hasn’t been removed w/ extraction
- Well defined radiolucency at extraction site
- Enucleation and excellent prognosis
Cyst that forms due to proliferation of crevicular epithlium associated w/ enamel extension in furcation area, seen in children
Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
What location and clinical symptoms are there associated w/ a Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
- Mandibular molars of children
- Localized swelling of buccal aspect of alveolar process, +/- pain or foul taste
Another term for Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
Paradental cyst
Radiographic signs of a Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
- Difficult to detect
- Possibly well defined radiolucency in furcation ara, root apices tipped toward lingual cortex (occlusal film), proliferative periostitis
What cyst does the Buccal Bifurcation Cyst look like microscopically
Periapical
Treatment and prognosis for Buccal Bifurcation Cyst
- Good
- May need to recountour furcation or perio surgery, involved tooth may be lost due to bone destruction
What is the most common developmental cyst and 2nd most common cyst overall?
Dentigerous cyst
Cyst that develops due to accumulation of fluid between the crown and reduced enamel epithelium and is associated w/ the crown of an unerupted tooth
Dentigerous cyst
That eventually forms the lining of a Dentigerous cyst
Reduced enamel epithelium
What is the size differentiation for a Dentigerous cyst and what is it called of smaller
- 5 mm
- Hyperplastic dental follicle
What sites can develop a Dentigerous cyst and which 3 are most common
- Any impacted tooth
1) Mand 3rd molar
2) Max canine
3) Max 3rd
When do most Dentigerous cyst present and what symptoms are involved?
- 2nd and 3rd decades
- Usually asymptomatic, but possible swelling or resorption of adjacent tooth roots
What cyst shows an uninflamed fibrous CT wall lined by a thing layer of NK SSE, w. scattered mucous cells
Dentigerous cyst
Treatment and prognosis for Dentigerous cyst
- Remove tooth and enucleate cyst
- Excellent, examine microscopically to roll out OKC and cancers
A Dentigerous cyst that forms in the soft tissue of an overlying crown of an erupting tooth?
Eruption Cyst
Who is affected and what are the clinical signs of an Eruption Cyst
Children
- Bluish swelling “eruption hematoma”
What is a rare lesion thought to be derived from a degenerating tooth bud epithelium
Primordial Cyst
Where does a Primordial Cyst develop and what is the mandatory criteria
- In place of a tooth before any mineralized material (any tooth in dentition including supernumeraries)
- Not history of extraction or surgery
