BACKGROUND Mucosal cysts in the maxillary antrum (MMC) are a common finding in imaging of the paranasal sinuses. Their significance remains in doubt and their prevalence in the general nonrhinitic population is unknown. OBJECTIVES To establish the prevalence of MMCs in patients without nasal complaints and identify any association with putative causative factors. To identify any correlation b...

Periapical cyst is a chronic inflammatory disorder of periradicular tissues. The precise pathological mechanisms involved in periapical cyst enlargement remain unclear. Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway with a regulatory role in cell fate decisions during development and in carcinogenesis. To date, there are no published data available on the expression of Notch signaling c...

gardner’s syndrome is a genetic condition demonstrating an autosomal dominant trait and characterized by the multiple colonic polyps (familial adenomatous polyposis coli) with sebaceous cysts and jaw osteomas. various dental abnormalities present in patient’s suffering with this syndrome includes multiple impacted or unerupted teeth, supernumerary teeth, hypodontia, compound odontomes and denti...

Relevance . Odontogenic cysts in children are the most common bone pathology. The study aimed to conduct a retrospective descriptive analysis of inflammatory odontogenic cases associated with primary teeth children. Material and methods analysed medical records diagnosed "radicular cyst tooth" from 2015-2020. We studied following characteristics, namely, sex, age, location process, condition qu...

ntroduction A radicular cyst is generally defined as a cyst arising from epithelial residual (cell rests of Malassez) in the periodontal ligament as consequence of inflammation, usually following the death of dental pulp. Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin affecting the jaws. They are most commonly found at the apices of the involved teeth, How...

A calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) is a proliferation of odontogenic epithelium and scattered nests of ghost cells and calcifications that may form the lining of a cyst, or present as a solid mass. It was previously described by Gorlin et al in 1962 as a calcifying odontogenic cyst. Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic jaw cysts, commonly manifesting in the second and third...
