Lateral periodontal cysts (LPCs) are now considered to be an independent entity since the World Health Organization (WHO) classified them as such in the 1992 monograph on "The Histological Typing of Odontogenic Tumors. (medscape.com)
Dentigerous cyst4
Dentigerous cyst, the second most prevalent cyst, is associated with the crown of non-erupted tooth. (wikipedia.org)
Recognition of OOC as a unique entity has long been due, yet its inexplicable radiographic presentation resembling dentigerous cyst, histological likeness to odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and inconsistent cytokeratin expression profiles overlapping with both as well as with the epidermis, makes it rather confounding. (bvsalud.org)
Equally bewildering of OOC is its resemblance to a dentigerous cyst when it occurs around the crown of an impacted tooth. (bvsalud.org)
Based on the clinical and radiographic evaluation, a preliminary diagnosis of dentigerous cyst was made. (bvsalud.org)
Developmental3
[ 1 ] Lateral periodontal cysts are defined as nonkeratinized and noninflammatory developmental cysts located adjacent or lateral to the root of a vital tooth. (medscape.com)
Keratocysts have developmental origin and show variability in their gene expression profiles. (intechopen.com)
The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a rare developmental jaw cyst. (bvsalud.org)
Histologic3
Odontogenic cysts have histologic origins in the cells of the dental structures. (wikipedia.org)
The diagnosis of lateral periodontal cyst is primarily based on histopathologic features, as certain characteristic histologic features separate it from other odontogenic cysts. (medscape.com)
[ 12 ] suggesting with this classification that careful histologic evaluation is necessary to confirm a diagnosis of Botryoid odontogenic cyst and separate it from any of these other possible lesions. (medscape.com)
Epithelial5
A cyst is a pathological epithelial lined cavity that fills with fluid or soft material and usually grows from internal pressure generated by fluid being drawn into the cavity from osmosis (hydrostatic pressure). (wikipedia.org)
cyst with respiratory like epithelial lining and the potential for recurrence with characteristics similar to a central variant of low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma There are several development cysts of the head and neck most of which form in the soft tissues rather than the bone. (wikipedia.org)
There are also several cysts, previously thought to arise from epithelial remanents trapped in embryonic lines of fusion, most of which are now believed to be odontogenic in origin or have an unknown cause. (wikipedia.org)
[ 3 ] Due to the morphologic similarity between the lateral periodontal cyst's epithelial lining, reduced enamel epithelium, and the presence of focal epithelial thickenings similar to that seen in the lining of dentigerous cysts, it has been hypothesized that the source of derivation is the reduced enamel epithelium of an erupting tooth. (medscape.com)
MMPs) are expressed in epithelial lining of the cyst. (intechopen.com)
Histological1
Some controversy exists about the relationship of Botryoid odontogenic cysts to lateral periodontal cysts, as some authors prefer to define a Botryoid odontogenic cyst as a "multicystic odontogenic lesion with histological characteristics of lateral periodontal cyst," or "cystic lesion similar to lateral periodontal cyst. (medscape.com)
Mandibular2
Buccal bifurcation cyst which appears in the buccal bifurcation region of the mandibular first molars in the second half of the first decade of life. (wikipedia.org)
Palatal cysts of the newborn (Epstein's pearls) Nasolabial cyst (nasoalveolar cyst) Epidermoid cyst of the skin Dermoid cyst Thyroglossal duct cyst Branchial cleft cyst (cervical lymphoepithelial cyst) Oral lymphoepithelial cyst Globulomaxillary cyst Median palatal cyst Median mandibular cyst Cysts rarely cause any symptoms, unless they become secondarily infected. (wikipedia.org)
Keratocyst3
Odontogenic keratocyst This lesion may be associated with the Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
It has long been documented and established that in addition to odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), the majority of odontogenic cysts produce orthokeratin. (bvsalud.org)
Odontogenic keratocyst and a benign odontogenic tumor were considered in the differential diagnosis. (bvsalud.org)
Lesion3
The vast majority of cysts expand slowly, and the surrounding bone has time to increase its density around the lesion, which is the body's attempt to isolate the lesion. (wikipedia.org)
[ 7 ] In 1973, Weathers and Waldron reported the first case of a multilocular lesion of the jaws, which they called a Botryoid odontogenic cyst. (medscape.com)
The source of origin of lateral periodontal cysts remains controversial, with extensive debate in the literature over whether the lesion derives from the dental lamina, reduced enamel epithelium, or rests of Malassez. (medscape.com)
Tumor1
However, with the World Health Organization (WHO) redefining OKC as a neoplasm and redesignating it as keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) in 2005, it became imperative that OOC had to be separated out from KCOT as a distinct entity. (bvsalud.org)
Gingival1
[ 5 ] Some authors have postulated that the lateral periodontal cyst is the intrabony counterpart of the gingival cyst in the adult. (medscape.com)
This distinction was germane as the pathogenesis and the progression and prognosis of these two seemingly similar odontogenic cysts is diverse. (bvsalud.org)
Pathological1
Odontogenic cysts are a group of common pathological lesions of the jaw. (intechopen.com)
Jaws4
The bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla, are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body. (wikipedia.org)
The high prevalence of tooth impactions and dental infections that occur in the bones of the jaws is also significant to explain why cysts are more common at these sites. (wikipedia.org)
Radicular cyst is the most common (up to two thirds of all cysts of the jaws). (wikipedia.org)
Lesions1
Clinical symptomatology of Botryoid odontogenic cysts can vary from lesions that are asymptomatic to lesions that are exceedingly painful. (medscape.com)
Clinical1
Based on the clinical, radiographic and histopathological features, the cyst was diagnosed as orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst. (bvsalud.org)
Tooth1
Non-odontogenic cysts form from tissues other than those involved in tooth development, and consequently may contain structures such as epithelium from the nose. (wikipedia.org)
Epithelium2
This "resting" epithelium (also termed cell rests) is usually dormant or undergoes atrophy, but, when stimulated, may form a cyst. (wikipedia.org)
Jaw cysts, which exclusively result in the orthokeratinization of the lining epithelium, are rather unusual and a descriptive term "orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC)" has been used for these variants 2 . (bvsalud.org)
Teeth5
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)
[ 2 ] These cysts arise along the lateral periodontium or within the bone between the roots of erupted vital teeth. (medscape.com)
[ 10 ] Botryoid odontogenic cysts are larger than lateral periodontal cysts, ranging between 5 mm and 45 mm and often extending into the periapical region of involved teeth. (medscape.com)
The cyst includes or is attached to the roots of the right second and third premolar teeth. (avma.org)
Maxillary1
[ 3 ] and these cysts represent nearly 0.8% of all central cysts of the maxillary bone. (medscape.com)
Bone2
If the cyst has not expanded beyond the normal anatomical boundaries of the bone, then there will be no palpable lump outside or inside the mouth. (wikipedia.org)
Cysts that have expanded beyond the normal anatomic boundaries of a bone are still often covered with a thin layer of new bone. (wikipedia.org)
Term1
[ 4 ] In the past, the term lateral periodontal cyst was used to describe any cyst that developed along the lateral root surface, including lateral radicular cysts and odontogenic keratocysts . (medscape.com)
Cases1
[ 7 ] It is estimated that over 67 cases of Botryoid odontogenic cysts have been reported in the literature. (medscape.com)
Group1
[ 8 ] Clinically, the age group affected with Botryoid odontogenic cyst ranges from 23 to 85 years, with a mean age of 53.8 years. (medscape.com)
Common1
Nasopalatine duct cyst, the most common development jaw cyst, appears only in the mid-line of the maxilla. (wikipedia.org)
Treatment1
Some cysts may not require any treatment, but if treatment is required, it usually involves some minor surgery to partially or completely remove the cyst in a one or two-stage procedure. (wikipedia.org)
