    Cysts treatment is limited to surgical removal for the majority of cysts. There are two techniques used to manage cysts with the deciding factor being the size of the cyst. [8] Enucleation—removal of the entire cyst. A mucoperiosteal flap is raised overlying the cyst and the entire cyst subsequently removed.

    Marsupialization which involves the surgical opening of the cyst cavity and a creation of a marsupial-like pouch. This allows the cavity to be in contact with the outside of the cyst for an extended period of time. Marsupialisation results in slow shrinkage of the cyst allowing later enucleation.

    Since the tooth never erupts, however, the dental follicle that surrounds the tooth does not degenerate during eruption, and can develop cysts or uncommon tumors over time. [5]: 141 Estimates of the incidence of cysts or other neoplasms (almost all benign) around impacted teeth average at 3%, usually seen in people under the age of 40. This ...

    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 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcifying_odontogenic_cyst

    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.
