Study Notes

Cysts of the Oral Cavity

  • Cysts are pathological cavities containing fluid or semi-fluid material, lined by epithelium and surrounded by connective tissue.
  • Pseudo cysts are cavities containing fluid but not lined by epithelium.
  • Odontogenic cysts originate from odontogenic epithelium remnants.
  • Non-odontogenic cysts originate from embryonic tissue remnants.

True Cysts

  • Lined by epithelium.
  • Odontogenic cysts include gingival cysts, lateral periodontal cysts, dentigerous cysts, eruption cysts, odontogenic keratocysts, gorlin cysts (keratinizing & calcifying odontogenic cysts), inflammatory cysts (radicular and residual cysts), and lateral periodontal cysts.
  • Non-odontogenic developmental cysts include nasopalatine cysts, incisive canal cysts, palatine papilla cysts, fissural cysts (median palatal cyst, median mandibular cyst, nasolabial cyst, globulomaxillary cyst, and median alveolar cyst).
