Study Notes
Types of Cysts
- A pseudocyst lacks an epithelial lining or fluid contents.
Odontogenic Cysts
- The most common odontogenic cyst is the radicular cyst.
Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor
- The keratocystic odontogenic tumor was previously classified as a cyst, but is now considered a cystic neoplasm.
Cyst Formation
- The main source of irritation leading to active proliferation of epithelium in the early phase of cyst formation is the necrotic tissue or bacteria.
Cyst Fluid
- The cyst fluid usually contains watery or gelatinous material, except in the case of keratocystic odontogenic tumor, where it contains a thick, creamy, cheesy material or yellowish-brown fluid.
