Jaw cysts affect around 3.5% of the population. 10 They are more common in males than females at a ratio of 1.6:1 and most people get them between their 40s and 60s. The order of the jaw cysts from most common to least common is; radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts, residual cysts and odontogenic keratocysts.
Recurrence is likely when treated by simple enucleation. Contributing causes include thin and fragile epithelium leading to incomplete removal, cyst extensions extending into cancellous bone, satellite cysts found in the wall, experience of the surgeon, formation of further new cysts from other remnants of the dental epithelium.

Anterior median lingual cyst (intralingual cyst of foregut origin) 5. Oral cysts with gastric or intestinal epithelium (oral alimentary tract cyst) 6. Cystic hygroma; 7. Nasopharyngeal ...
Over time, the cyst decreases in size and bone regenerates in the cavity space. Marsupialization could also be performed, which involves suturing the edges of the gingiva surrounding the cyst to remain open. The cyst then drains its contents and heal without being prematurely closed. The end result is the same as the cystostomy, bone regeneration.
A latent cyst is located away from the epiphyseal plate and is more likely to heal with treatment. [4] It is typically diagnosed in under 20 year olds. [1] Although unicameral bone cysts can form in any bone structure, it is predominantly found in the proximal humerus and proximal femur; additionally, it affects males twice as often as females ...
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare developmental lesion that comes from odontogenic epithelium. [2] It is also known as a calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor , which is a proliferation of odontogenic epithelium and scattered nest of ghost cells and calcifications that may form the lining of a cyst , or present as a solid mass.
A glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare and usually benign odontogenic cyst developed at the odontogenic epithelium of the mandible or maxilla. [2] [8] [9] [10] Originally, the cyst was labeled as "sialo-odontogenic cyst" in 1987. [7] However, the World Health Organization (WHO) decided to adopt the medical expression "glandular ...
An odontoma, also known as an odontome, is a benign tumour [4] linked to tooth development. [5] Specifically, it is a dental hamartoma, meaning that it is composed of normal dental tissue that has grown in an irregular way.
