  2. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    Periapical cysts exist in two structurally distinct classes: Periapical true cysts - cysts containing cavities entirely surrounded in epithelial lining. Resolution of this type of cyst requires surgical treatment such as a cystectomy. [10] Periapical pocket cysts - epithelium lined cavities that have an opening to the root canal of the affected ...

  3. Stafne defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafne_defect

    Stafne's defect is usually discovered by chance during routine dental radiography. [11] Radiographically, it is a well-circumscribed, monolocular, round, radiolucent defect, 1–3 cm in size, usually between the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the inferior border of the posterior mandible between the molars and the angle of the jaw.

  4. Jejunostomy - Wikipedia

    Jejunostomy is the surgical creation of an opening (stoma) through the skin at the front of the abdomen and the wall of the jejunum (part of the small intestine).It can be performed either endoscopically, or with open surgery.

    Jejunojejunostomy is a surgical technique used in an anastomosis between two portions of the jejunum. [1] It is a type of bypass occurring in the intestine . It may lead to marked reduction in the functional volume of the intestine.

  6. Gingival cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_cyst

    Gingival cyst, also known as Epstein's pearl, is a type of cysts of the jaws that originates from the dental lamina and is found in the mouth parts. It is a superficial cyst in the alveolar mucosa . It can be seen inside the mouth as small and whitish bulge.

  7. Dentigerous cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentigerous_cyst

    The cyst surrounds the crown and extends for some distance along the root surface so that a significant portion of the root appears to lie within the cyst, as if the tooth was erupting through the centre of the cyst. The radiographic distinction between an enlarged dental follicle and a small dentigerous cyst can be difficult and fairly arbitrary.

  8. Lateral periodontal cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_periodontal_cyst

    The epithelial cell rests of Malassez presented in the roots surface, principal location of the LPC, play a role in LPC formation. [8]Several additional theories had been proposed regarding the origin of lateral periodontal cysts, including the possibility that the lesions may arise as a result of pulpal infection manifesting itself in a lateral position or chronic periodontal disease ...

  9. Cysts of the jaws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysts_of_the_jaws

    Cysts of the jaws are cysts—pathological epithelial-lined cavities filled with fluid or soft material—occurring on the bones of the jaws, the mandible and maxilla.Those are the bones with the highest prevalence of cysts in the human body, due to the abundant amount of epithelial remnants that can be left in the bones of the jaws.
