The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst is a relatively rare developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws that occurs predominantly in males between the third and fourth decades. According to the 2005 World Health Organization's classification, orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst is not a part of the keratocystic odontogenic tumor spectrum. We present a case of a 41-year-old male with a history of re...

Background and aims. Odontogenic cysts and tumors have a wide spectrum of clinical characteristics that lead to the different management strategies. Since definite diagnosis is difficult in some cases, it has been suggested that CD56 may be a candidate marker for definitive diagnosis of some odontogenic tumors. The present study was designed to examine CD56 expression in lesions with histopatho...

AUTHORS: Dr. Shalini Singhal Senior lecturer Dr. Hirak Bhattacharya Reader Dr. Manvi Agarwal Senior Lecturer Department of Periodontics Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly ABSTRACT LATERAL PERIODONTAL CYST is a rare odontogenic cyst of developmental origin. It occurs on the lateral periodontal region of a vital tooth and has specific histologic features. In this paper a case of a lateral per...

INTRODUCTION Odontogenic cysts constitute a group of frequent intraosseous lesions characteristic in the maxillary bones and one of the main causes of the destruction of these bones. In Chile there are no retrospective studies of these lesions as a whole. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of these lesions in so far as they were diagnosed and registered in the R...

The Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common developmental, epithelial and non-odontogenic of maxilla. They generally asymptomatic diagnosed on routine clinical or radiographic examination. should however be distinguished from large incisive fossae. On attaining a size, they may cause symptoms like pain itching, root resorption, teeth displacement bone perforation. We report case gia...

background & objectives: odontogenic cysts are among the most frequent destructive lesions of jaws which their pathogenesis and growth mechanism are not cleared. with respect to different roles of mast cells, they may play a role in the pathogenesis and growth of odontogenic cysts. the aim of present study was to evaluate mast cells in the most common odontogenic cyst. methods: thirty  para...

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is considered an odontogenic cyst of developmental origin, which because of its histological features had been termed sialo-odontogenic cyst. Although clinically and radiologically they bear similarity to relatively innocuous periapical lesions, their biological behavior is comparable to aggressive tumor-like conditions-like keratocystic odontogenic tumors. Thei...
