Gingival cyst of adult (arrow) Panoramal radiograph of GCA. Inset: no evidence of bone involvement. Gingival cyst of adult is a rare condition. The incidence is less than 0.5%. It is formed from the rests of dental lamina. [11] It is found in the soft tissues on the buccal and labial portions of the jaw.
Desquamative gingivitis is a descriptive clinical term, not a diagnosis. [1] Dermatologic conditions cause about 75% of cases of desquamative gingivitis, and over 95% of the dermatologic cases are accounted for by either oral lichen planus or cicatricial pemphigoid. [1]
Periapical cysts (also called radicular cysts) are by far the most common cyst occurring in the jaws. [ 5 ] 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.
Peripheral giant-cell granuloma (PGCG) is an oral pathologic condition that appears in the mouth as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation or trauma. Because of its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva , the condition is associated with two other diseases , pyogenic granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma .
Keratocyst (in the jaws, these can appear solitary or associated with the Gorlin-Goltz or Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome. Paradental cyst; Periapical cyst (The periapical cyst, otherwise known as radicular cyst, is the most common odontogenic cyst.) Radicular cyst (associated with the roots of non-vital teeth, also known as Periapical 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 ...
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 ...
1–2% of adults [2] Irritation fibroma is a type of fibroma that occurs on the mucosa of the oral cavity . [ 2 ] Irritation fibromas are common benign tumors that are asymptomatic and resemble scarring .
