AUTHORS: Dr. Shalini Singhal Senior lecturer Dr. Hirak Bhattacharya Reader Dr. Manvi Agarwal Senior Lecturer Department of Periodontics Institute of Dental Sciences, Bareilly ABSTRACT LATERAL PERIODONTAL CYST is a rare odontogenic cyst of developmental origin. It occurs on the lateral periodontal region of a vital tooth and has specific histologic features. In this paper a case of a lateral per...

BACKGROUND The lateral periodontal cyst is considered a developmental odontogenic cyst with unusual occurrence. In most cases it is preliminary diagnosed as a radiographic finding, presenting as well circumscribed or as a round or teardrop-shaped radiolucent area. Due to its location it can easily be misdiagnosed as a lesion of endodontic origin. Final diagnosis should be based on histopatologi...

the lateral periodontal cyst is an uncommon, but well-recognized type of developmental odontogenic cyst. lateral periodontal cysts are defined as non-keratinized and non-inflammatory developmental cysts located adjacent or lateral to the root of a vital tooth. it is a relatively uncommon lesion found mostly in adults (5th to 7th decades) and it is rare in young people under 30 years of age. a c...

INTRODUCTION The lateral periodontal cyst, as the name implies, occurs on a lateral periodontal location and is of developmental origin, arising from cystic degeneration of clear cells of the dental lamina. A botryoid odontogenic cyst is considered to be a rare multilocular variant of a lateral periodontal cyst. CASE PRESENTATION We report the clinical and histopathologic features of a rare c...

The lateral periodontal cyst and the botryoid odontogenic cyst are two rare nosological entities, who, despite their radiological and clinical presentation can only be diagnosed by their rather typical histopathological characteristics. The purpose of this article is to report two cases of radiolucent cystic lesions of the mandible, located in the premolar area, with a clinical and radiographic...

The lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) is a harmless developmental aberration derived from odontogenic epithelia lying between the roots of vital teeth. The exact histogenesis of LPC is a matter of debate but therapy is usually only required to maintain stable periodontal conditions and in case of evidence for growth of the cyst. We report on a case of LPC where successful surgical therapy had init...

recognized type of developmental odontogenic cyst. This lesion is more common in adults (1,2). Cohen et al. (2) reported an equal sex distribution, but other studies have reported a male preponderance (3,4). Differential diagnosis between lateral periodontal cyst and collateral keratocyst must be done by evaluating the clinical and histological data. It is also difficult to distinguish lateral ...
