Primordial c
An odontogenic cyst resulting from degeneration of the enamel organ of a developing tooth bud. The vast majority of all primordial cysts are odontogenic keratocysts upon histopathologic examination.
-
Odontogenic c
A class of cysts derived from odontogenic epithelium, such as primordial, dentigerous, and lateral periodontal cysts.
-
Mucocele
A cyst or cyst‐like structure that contains mucous glycoproteins. A mucocele is an extraductal extravasation of mucus into surrounding stroma. “Epithelium‐lined sac containing mucus. Mucous cysts in the sinus may appear as spherical, radiopaque areas.” A cavity containing an accumulation of mucus. A swollen sac or cavity filled with mucus secreted from cells in its…

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor
Developmental odontogenic cyst of the dental lamina in which the epithelial cells produce keratin, known for its aggressive nature and high recurrence rate.
-
Gingival c
Found within the gingiva, most commonly in the mandibular canine‐premolar region. Believed to be derived from epithelial rests of the dental lamina.
-
Dentigerous c
Forms around the crown of an unerupted tooth or odontoma.
-
Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor
An odontogenic cyst found most often in the mandibular canine and premolar region; has distinct microscopic features including basal epithelial cells that resemble ameloblasts.
-
Apical periodontal c
The most common odontogenic cyst, involving the apex of a root and resulting from the inflammatory reaction to a nonvital pulp.
-
Cyst
A pathologic cavity lined by epithelium and usually containing fluid or semi‐solid material. A membrane-enclosed sac containing fluid, pus, or other soft material that develops as an abnormal growth. Cysts can develop just under the skin (so-called epidermal cysts) or inside the body in organs such as the ovaries or kidneys. A closed cavity or…

Cylindrical implant
An endosseous, rootform dental implant, with parallel‐sided nonthreaded walls. One such design, determined either in cross‐section or three‐dimension, follows the shape of a cylinder for an endosteal implant.
