Study Notes

Inflammatory Cysts Overview

Epithelial lining of inflammatory cysts originates from the remnants of the reduced enamel epithelium or from the epithelial cells in the periodontal ligament.
Formation of inflammatory cysts occurs through a sequence of inflammatory responses leading to the accumulation of fluid and cellular debris in a localized area.
Central cells in the mass undergo necrosis or apoptosis, which contributes to the cyst's enlargement through necrotic material accumulation and inflammation-induced changes.
An epithelial-lined cavity is created through the proliferation of the remaining viable epithelial cells around the necrotic core, resulting in cystic formation.
Periapical infection stemming from dental caries leads to the development of periapical cysts, characterized by the encapsulation of infected tissue, inflammation, and the subsequent formation of a cystic cavity.
