Oral Surgery - Cysts and Tumours Flashcards
what is the definition of a cyst
pathological cavity filled with fluid or air - that is not filled with the accumulation of pus
what are the broad classifications of odontogenic cysts
inflammatory - radicular, paradental, mandibular buccal bifurcation
developmental - dentigerous cyst, OKC, lateral periodontal, gingival, calcifying odontogenic cyst
what are the three types of non-odontogenic cysts
nasopalatine duct cyst
staphne’s bone cavity
aneurysmal bone cyst
what are radicular cysts
associated with non vital tooth
due to proliferation of epithelial rests of malassez (HERS)
what are residual cysts
radicular cysts that remain in the jaws after an extraction of the affected tooth
name histopathological aspects of radicular/ residual cysts
regular lining of non-keratinised squamous cell epithelium
deposits of cholesterol
vascular capsule
inflammatory infiltrate
rushton bodies
what is the radiographic appearance of radicular/ residual cyst
round or oval
unilocular and well defined
uniform radiolucency
what are paradental cysts
associated with PE 3rd molars where the inflammatory stimulus is periocoronitis
what are mandibular buccal bifurcation cysts
occur in children and associated with buccal aspect of erupting FPM
what is a dentigerous cyst
they embrace the whole crown of an unerupted tooth and attach at CEJ
lined with epithelium derived from reduced enamel epithelium (REE)
associated with impacted mandibular 8s
what is an eruption cyst
overlies an erupting tooth
most frequently seen in deciduous incisors of FPMs
what is the histopathology of dentigerous/ eruption cysts
thin regular layer of non-keratinising stratified squamous epithelium
capsule resembles dental follicle
myxoid areas
lined with reduced enamel epithelium
how do dentigerous cysts present radiologically
round or oval
well defined unilocular
uniform radiolucency
attached to crown of unerupted tooth
what is an OKC
arises from cell rests of serres (dental lamina)
has an unusual growth pattern with high risk of recurrence
grows mesio-distally before any bony expansion bucco-lingually
what is the histopathology of OKCs
thin connective tissue wall
uninflamed
lined with parakeratinised stratified squamous epithelium
can lead to daughter cells
how do OKCs present radiographically
oval
well-defined
uni or multilocular
what syndrome is associated with OKCs
basal cell naevus (Gorlin Goltz)
multiple naevoid basal cell carcinomas of the skin
what is orthokeratinised odontogenic cyst
uncommon developmental cyst
similar presentation to OKC
unilocular without epithelial proliferations or satellite cells
what is the histopathology of orthokeratinised odontogenic cyst
prominent orthokeratinisation
flattened basal cell layer
no association with naevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
what is a lateral periodontal cyst
associated with lateral surface of root (canine/ premolar region)
what is the histopathology of lateral periodontal cysts
thin lining stratified squamous epithelium
similar to gingival cysts
what are gingival cysts
appear on attached gingivae as less than 1cm pink/blue swellings
derived from rests of serres (dental lamina) in gingival or alveolar soft tissues
what are gingival cysts that appear on the palate of infants termed
epsteins pearls
what are glandular odontogenic cysts
mulitlocular
mainly in anterior mandible
high recurrence
