dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts and are most commonly seen in association with third molars and maxillary canines. only 5% of dentigerous cysts involve supernumerary teeth, of which mesiodens is the most frequent type. this paper presents a case of dentigerous cyst associated with a mesiodens that caused a painless swelling in the upper lip o...

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...

Relevance . Odontogenic cysts in children are the most common bone pathology.

statement of the problem: odontogenic keratocyst (okc) is a developmental odontogenic cyst with specific histopathological features, high recurrence rate, and aggressive clinical behavior. angiogenesis might be considered as an important factor for the growth, expansion, and distribution of this lesion. purpose: the aim of the present study was to determine the mean vascular densities (mvd) of ...

The maxillofacial region is affected by a greater number of cysts than any other part of the body. Radicular cysts are the most common odontogenic cystic lesions of inflammatory origin and are managed either by surgical enucleation or by marsupialization. Here a case report is presented of a large radicular cyst that involved over half of palatal region of maxilla. Presentation, diagnosis and m...

BACKGROUND Nasoalveolar cysts are rare non-odontogenic cysts that occur beneath the nasal alar region. Few cases of bilateral nasoalveolar cysts have been described. CASE PRESENTATION We report a rare case of a 67-year-old Japanese woman with bilateral nasoalveolar cysts who presented to our department with the chief complaint of a swollen left nasal alar base.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Calcifying odontogenic cyst is an uncommon developmental cyst. It accounts for only 1% of jaw cysts and uncommonly occurs with odontoma. Herein, we report a case of calcifying odontogenic cyst, associated with complex odontoma.
