Jaw cyst. Medical search. Frequent questions

Cysts that arise from tissue(s) that would normally develop into teeth are referred to as odontogenic cysts. (wikipedia.org)
As the cyst grows from hydraulic pressure it causes the bone around it to resorb, and may cause movement of teeth or other vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels, or resorb the roots of teeth. (wikipedia.org)
