Odontogenic infections can be severe if not treated and are associated with mortality rate of 10 to 40%. [4] Furthermore, about 70% of odontogenic infections occur as periapical inflammation, i.e. acute periapical periodontitis or a periapical abscess. [3] The next most common form of odontogenic infection is the periodontal abscess. [3]
Relative incidence of odontogenic cysts. [14] Periapical cysts are labeled at left. Periapical cysts comprise approximately 75% of the types of cysts found in the oral region. The ratio of individuals diagnosed with periapical cysts is 3:2 male to female, as well as individuals between 20 and 60 years old. Periapical cysts occur worldwide.
The dental follicle, also known as dental sac, is made up of mesenchymal cells and fibres surrounding the enamel organ and dental papilla of a developing tooth. [1] It is a vascular fibrous sac [2] containing the developing tooth and its odontogenic organ. The dental follicle (DF) differentiates into the periodontal ligament.
Dental abscess; Other names: Dentoalveolar abscess, Periapical abscess, tooth abscess, root abscess: A decayed, broken down tooth, which has undergone pulpal necrosis.A periapical abscess (i.e. around the apex of the tooth root) has then formed and pus is draining into the mouth via an intraoral sinus ().
Peripheral odontogenic fibroma (PFO) is a fibrous connective tissue mass that is exophytic and covered in surface epithelium that contains odontogenic epithelium. [1] The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies peripheral odontogenic fibroma as a fibroblastic neoplasm with variable amounts of odontogenic epithelium that appears to be dormant.
Botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is a type of developmental odontogenic cyst that is extremely rare. [1] It is thought to be a lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) variant with a higher risk of recurrence. [2] Weathers and Waldron coined the term BOC in 1973. [3] Adults over the age of 50 are the most affected. [4]
