        • Residual
      • Developmental:
        • Lateral developmental cysts
        • Gingival cyst of adults
        • Gingival cyst of newborn (Bohn's nodules)
    • b. Dentigerous Cysts:
      • Central
      • Lateral
      • Circumferential
    • c. Primordial Cyst, Odontogenic Keratocyst:

    • (Further classifications and descriptions for Non-Odontogenic cysts are provided in subsequent pages of the document.)

    3- Pseudocysts

    • a. Traumatic bone cyst:
    • b. Aneurysmal bone cyst:
