26
Q

what is calcifying odontogenic cysts

A

benign lesion that are about 1-3cm diameter
adjacent teeth displaced
bony expansion occurs

27
Q

what is a nasopalatine duct cyst

A

non-odontogenic
comes from epithelial remnants pf naso-palatine duct
heart shaped on true maxillary occlusal radiograph

28
Q

what is the histopathology of naso-palatine duct cyst

A

stratified squamous epithelium lining
also has respiratory cuboidal lining
neurovascular bundles found in capsule

29
Q

what are three examples of non-epithelial cysts found in the jaws

solitary bone cyst
staphne’s cavity
aneurysmal bone cyst

30
Q

what is solitary bone cyst

A

unknown aetiology
varied size and radiolucency with irregular outline
scalloping prominent

31
Q

what is stafne’s idiopathic bone cavity

A

round or oval radiolucency lies below level of IAN

32
Q

how are cysts managed

A

referral
initial consultation
special radiographs - including plain film radiograph, CBCT or CT
biopsy
diagnosis
treatment plan and discussion

33
Q

what are the treatment options for cysts

A

enucleation
marsupialisation
surgical resection

34
Q

what is cyst enucleation

A

removal of entire cyst lining and contents
used for radicular, residual or keratocysts

35
Q

what are potential complications of cyst enucleation

A

damage to IAN
communication with maxillary sinus
pathological fracture of mandible
risk of recurrence

36
Q

what is marsupialisation

A

removing part of the cyst and leaving the top uncovered
useful for large simple cysts, keratocyst or dentigerous cysts

37
Q

what are complications of marsupialisation

A

needs further surgery to remove cyst
long treatment time before completion
chance of infection
uncomfortable

38
Q

what is segmental resection

A

removal of cyst with margin of normal bone
used for ameloblastoma and sarcoma

39
