AIM Though odontogenic lesions have in common origin from the primitive odontogenic epithelium , there is a diversity in their initiation behavior and growth. The aggressive nature of odontogenic keratocyst similar to ameloblastoma in comparision with the other common odontogenic (dentigerous and radicular) cyst could be due to possible differences in their epithelial linings. PCNA (Proliferati...

Relevance . Odontogenic cysts in children are the most common bone pathology. The study aimed to conduct a retrospective descriptive analysis of inflammatory odontogenic cases associated with primary teeth children. Material and methods analysed medical records diagnosed "radicular cyst tooth" from 2015-2020. We studied following characteristics, namely, sex, age, location process, condition qu...

Radicular cysts are by far the most common cystic lesions of the jaw. However, those arising from primary teeth are comparatively rare, comprising only 0.5 to 3.3%. The aim of this paper is to present clinical, radiographic and histopathological characteristics of radicular cyst associated with a primary mandibular molar causing unusual displacement of the permanent successor. Extraction of pri...

Radicular cysts are the most common inflammatory odontogenic cystic lesions. It originates from epithelial residues in periodontal ligaments secondary to inflammation. The pathogenesis involves the activation of epithelial cell rests of Malaseez after physical, chemical or bacterial injury. Microscopically, the cyst is thin with smooth or corrugated inner surface. The most common epithelial lin...

The purpose of this study was to expose a new classification odontogenic maxillary cysts post-dental implant and asses functional surgical treatment with fewer complication, which not only insured normal maxillary sinus cilia restoration and bony integrity but also did little damage to maxillary sinus natural ostium. The maxillofacial region is affected by a greater number of cysts. Chronic max...

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon developmental cyst. It accounts for 0.012% to 1.3% of all the jaw cysts; its prevalence is 0.17%. It was described by Gardner et al. in 1988 as a distinct entity. GOC has a slight predilection for mandible and affect more commonly in the middle-aged patients. Radiographic and clinical features of this cyst are not pathognomonic or specific. Only t...

BACKGROUND Lumbar synovial cysts can result from spondylosis of facet joints. These cysts can encroach on adjacent nerve roots, causing symptoms of radiculopathy. Currently the only definitive treatment for these symptoms is surgery, which may involve laminectomy or laminotomy, with or without spinal fusion. Surgery has been reported to successfully relieve radicular pain in 83.5% of patients b...

Objectives The aim of the present study was to document the frequency and clinicopathologic features of intra-osseous jaw lesions in an Iranian pediatric population over a 20-year period. Methods Data were obtained from the archives of the Oral Pathology Department, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. The lesions were classified into four groups: (A) odontogenic cysts...

In recent years, there have been published clinical reports dealing with cysts or tumors of the odontogenic character the extract of which revealed pathologic keratinizing or calcifying changes in the light of histopathologic examination Cl, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). These pathologic changes are said to give quite different histopathologic findings from those of the radicular cyst, follicular cyst ...
