Study Notes
Orofacial Cysts Overview
- A cyst is a pathological cavity containing fluid or gas, lined with epithelium and surrounded by a fibrous capsule.
- Cysts can arise from developmental or inflammatory processes.
Tooth Development
- Teeth originate from tissues derived from ectoderm and mesoderm.
- Ectomesenchymal cells migrate from the neural crest to form teeth.
- Stages of tooth development include initiation, proliferation, histodifferentiation, morphodifferentiation, apposition, calcification, eruption, and attrition.
- Progenitor cells remaining post-development can lead to cyst formation.
Types of Cysts
Inflammatory Cysts
- Commonly associated with non-vital teeth.
- Examples include:
- Periapical radicular cyst: the most prevalent jaw cyst linked to non-vital teeth.
- Residual periapical cyst: occurs at a site of a previously extracted tooth.
- Buccal bifurcation cyst: located adjacent to the buccal aspect of molars.
Developmental Cysts
- Usually arise from unknown causes or specific gene mutations.
- Examples include:
- Dentigerous cyst: the second most common odontogenic cyst, associated with unerupted teeth.
- Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC): aggressive behavior and often multilocular.
Specific Cyst Types
Periapical Radicular Cyst
- Associated with periapical inflammation due to non-vital teeth.
- Radiographically appears as a well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion.
- Treatment includes root canal therapy, periapical surgery, or tooth extraction.
Dentigerous Cyst
- Develops from fluid accumulation around the crown of an unerupted tooth, often seen with impacted molars.
- Well-defined radiolucency surrounding the tooth.
- Treatment options include surgical enucleation and orthodontic intervention.
Odontogenic Keratocyst (OKC)
- Originates from epithelial rests and is known for aggressive growth.
- Radiographically, may show a "soap-bubble" appearance and is often multilocular.
- Surgical enucleation and careful follow-up are necessary due to high recurrence rates.
Nevoid Basal Cell Carcinoma Syndrome
- Genetic disorder marked by multiple OKCs, basal cell carcinomas, and other skeletal anomalies.
- Associated with mutations in the PATCH (PTCH) tumor suppressor gene.
Orthokeratinized Odontogenic Cyst
- Less aggressive than OKC, commonly associated with impacted teeth.
- Radiographically appears as a unilocular radiolucency and has a low recurrence rate.
Lateral Periodontal Cyst
- Develops in the periodontal ligament, often asymptomatic, seen in adults.
- Characterized by a small, well-defined unilocular radiolucency.
Botryoid Odontogenic Cyst
- Rare variant of lateral periodontal cyst, appears as multilocular radiolucency resembling a "cluster of grapes."
- Tends to recur post-enucleation.
Treatment Approaches
- Enucleation and extraction of teeth linked to cysts are common treatments.
- Other options include marsupialization for large lesions and orthodontic assistance where applicable.
- Long-term monitoring is vital due to recurrence potential with certain cyst types.
