Odontogenic Cysts Overview

A cyst is lined by epithelium, while a pseudocyst is not.

Apical, lateral, and residual cysts.

Odontogenic cysts are classified into inflammatory and developmental types.

<p>The types of gingival cysts are the gingival cyst of adults and the gingival cyst of newborns (Bohn's nodules); adults' cysts are typically associated with the gingival margin, while newborns’ cysts are small localized nodules in the alveolar mucosa.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A primordial cyst arises from the degeneration of a tooth follicle and is formed in the absence of a prior tooth. It differs from other odontogenic cysts in its origin and pathogenesis.</p> Signup and view all the answers
