Term
Etiology of dentigerous (follicular) cyst
Definition

Developmental odontogenic cyst associated w/ crown of unerupted tooth

Epithelium from reduce enamel epithelium (enamel organ rests)

 

Term
Demographics of dentigerous (follicular) cyst
Definition
Teens-20s, crown of impacted tooth, most common developmental odontogenic cyst, second most common odontogenic cyst
Term
Clinical features of dentigerous cyst
Definition
Attached at CEJ and covers crown of unerupted tooth, any unerupted tooh (esp third molars, maxillary canines), asympatomatic unless secondarily infected, delayed eruption of involved tooth +/- neighboring tooth
Term
Radiographics of dentigerous cyst
Definition
Radiolucency associated with crown of unerupted tooth, dentigerous cyst (>4 mm) vs. enlarged follicle (<4 mm), unilocular, root development complete
Term
Histology of dentigerous cyst
Definition
Fibrous to fibromyxomatous (more ground substance; less collagen) CT- normal dental follicle wall, 2-3 layers of non-keratinizing epithelial lining, +/- inflammation
Term
Treatment for dentigerous cyst
Definition
Enucleation +/- extraction of associated tooth
Term
Prognosis of dentigerous cyst without treatment
Definition
Continues to increase in size, significant bone destruction, root resorption of neighboring teeth, secondary infection if communication w/ oral cavity; rarely transforms into SCCA or ameloblastoma
Term
Dentigerous cyst variant: eruption cyst
Definition
Looks like mucocele but we don't get mucoceles on alveolar process; = soft tissue version, erupting tooth underneath surface as fluid filled soft tissue bump, blood in cyst may give bluish appearance
Term
Treatment for eruption cyst
Definition
None, usually resolves spontaneously; if not excise roof of cyst
Term
Clinical features of buccal bifurcation cyst/inflammatory buccal cyst
Definition
Cyst on buccal surface aspect of mandibular 1st molar and 2nd, form along furcation area on buccal surface --> tipping tooth, children, uncommon, roots displaced lingually
Term
Etiology of buccal bifurcation cyst
Definition

Inflammation related to gingiva/eruption; don't really know

teeth are vital

Term
Histopathology of buccal bifurcation cyst
Definition
Not distinctive
Term
Treatment of buccal bifurcation cyst
Definition
Curettage, tooth preservation
Term
Clinical features of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC)/Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KOT)
Definition
Uncommon, 10% of odontogenic cysts; aggressive; high incidence of recurrence (30%), found anywhere in jaws, esp. posterior mandible (40% assoc w/ impaction, also not tooth associated); any age; 5% of cases assoc w/ NBCCS
Term
Radiographic features of OKC
Definition
Unilocular (small) or multilocular (large), smooth, corticated borders (slow growing), tooth displacement > resorption
Term
Histopathology of OKC
Definition

Highly characteristic; epi lining, luminal (lining the cyst cavity) cells = parakeratinized giving cheese appearance

Parakeratin matures and falls off into the hole; basal cell layer: palisaded

Term
Treatment for OKC
Definition
Aggressive usually, recurrent so need to keep eye on patient, (more aggressive for max. regions), chemical cautery, decompression/marsupialization and late surgery vs. resection; maybe extraction of tooth
Term
Nevoid Basal cell carcinoma syndrome (=Gorlin Goltz syndrome) Major criteria:
Definition
Odontogenic keratocyst(s) (multiple); multiple basal cell carcinomas; calcified falx cerebri; palmar/plantar pits (three or more) first degree relative, bifid ribs, >90% of affected white patients dev BCCs, 40% of affected black pts develop BCCs
Term
Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome Minor Criteria:
Definition
Childhood medulloblastoma (CNS tumors), macrocephaly, cleft lip/palate, polydactyly (extra fingers/toes), ovarian/cardiac fibromas, ocular anomalies, other CNS tumors
Term
ETiology of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
Definition
Mutation of Patched-1 (PTCH) gene which is tumor suppressor gene, Autosomal dominant 75% inherit condition from parent, 25% de novo mutation
Term
Demographics of NBCCS
Definition
1/60,000
Term
Diagnosis of NBCCS
Definition
Two major and one minor criteria, one major and three minor criteria; VS. molecular genetic testing identifies muttaion about 80% of patients
Term
Odontogenic keratocyst
Definition
Cyst in which epithelium matures to parakeratotic surface, locally aggressive, can be very destructive, tendency to recur after tx, unilocular or multilocular; can be associated w/ impacted tooth, erupted tooth, jaw
Term
Characteristics of orthokeratinizing odontogenic cyst
Definition
Aggressive, low recurrence rate, orthokeratinizing
Term
Etiology of lateral periodontal cyst
Definition
Non-inflammatory developmental odontogenic cyst, dental lamina remnants (rests of Serres)
Term
Clinical features of lateral periodontal cyst
Definition
Asymptomatic radiolucency, in bone, adjacent to root of vital tooth, mandibular/PM area, canine area; maxillary lateral incisor area, wide age range
Term
Radiographic features of lateral periodontal cyst
Definition
Unilocular radiolucency, round-tear drop shaped, mid-root area, don't get very large
Term
Histopathology of lateral periodontal cyst
Definition
Characteristic**makes diagnosis, focal plaque-like thickening, glycogen-rich clear cells
Term
Treatment of lateral periodontal cyst
Definition
Surgical excision of cyst only, need to biopsy
Term
Lateral periodontal cyst varient: botryoid odontogenic cyst etiology
Definition
Multilocular, histopathology identical to lateral periodontal cyst
Term
Lateral periodontal cyst variant: gingival cyst of the adult clinically
Definition
soft tissue of LPC, no bone involvement, mandibular/PM, canine areas, should be able to make clinical Dx if classic appearance/location
Term
Gingival cysts of newborns etiology
Definition
Small superficial keratin-filled cysts on alveolar mucosa of infants, very common, developmental odontogenic vs. non-odontogenic
Term
Clinical appearance of gingival cysts of newborns
Definition
Single-multiple, off-white nodules, ~2mm diameter; Bohn's nodules = gingival alveolar bone; epstein's pearls = palatal midline
Term
Glandular odontogenic cyst clinical
Definition
Rare dev cyst of jaws, esp. anterior mandible, often crosses midline, +/- extensive destruction, impacted, erupted or no tooth association
Term
Radiographic of glandular odontogenic cyst
Definition
Radiolucent, esp. multiloculated, esp. anterior mandible, often crosses midline, border varies
Term
Histopathology of glandular odontogenic cyst
Definition
Cyst, non-keratinized epithelial lining, mucous cells +/- cilia, similarity to mucoepidermoid carcinoma (malignant salivary gland tumors), misdiagnosis a real possibility!
Term
Treatment of glandular odontogenic cyst
Definition
Locally aggressive, high recurrence (+25%), removal of block of involved bone, potential for misdiagnosis
Term
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (=Gorlin cyst, "Calcifying cyst odontogenic tumor") etiology
Definition
Rests of dental lamina (serres)
Term
Clinical features of calcifying odontogenic cyst
Definition
Uncommon, asymptomatic, esp anterior jaws, max>mand, esp <50 yo; sometimes assoc with impacted teeth
Term
Radiographic of calcifying odontogenic cyst
Definition
Unilocular radiolucency, well-defined margins, +/- scattered radiopacities ("calcifying...")
Term
Histopathology of calcifying odontogenic cyst
Definition
Cyst, "ghost cells" (keratinized epithelium) from calcifications within cyst lining, have to have a lot of them to see on radiograph; +/- calcification
Term
Treatment of calcifying odontogenic cyst
Definition
Slightly more aggresive than plain "cysts," slightly increased recurrence rate, generally, conservative removal recommended
Term
Carcinoma developing in an odontogenic cyst clinical
Definition
Very rare, Mandible>maxilla, paresthesia, +/- pain/swelling; teeth look like they are sitting in air
Term
Carcinoma dev in odontogenic cyst radiographic
Definition
Radiolucency; ill-defined, irregular margins
Term
Histopathology of carcinoma dev in odontogenic cyst
Definition
Usual SCCA
Term
Treatment of  carcinoma developing in odontogenic cyst
Definition
Aggressive surgical resection +/- neck dissection
Term
Prognosis of carcinoma developing in an odontogenic cyst
Definition
High % metastases (very quickly to the neck, lung, high recurrence rate); poor prognosis
