What is a dental cyst?

Cyst is a hollow lump filled with liquid and dental cyst is a cyst that forms around the enamel crown of the tooth that failed to explode from the jaw. It is the second most commonly found type of odontogenic cyst, where odontogenic means something associated with the development of teeth. Dentigerous Cyst, sometimes known as follicular cyst, is usually benign or non -lawy. Kystas are most commonly found individually and approximately three quarters are located in the lower jaw. When they are formed around unruly teeth, it is more likely to occur in conjunction with those teeth that often affect, such as wisdom teeth. These types of cysts almost always occur in adults, permanent teeth and very rarely in children. Men and women can have them and are commonly found in people who are in their twenties and thirties.

Dentigerous cyst is formed when the fluid accumulates inside the developmental bag or follicle surrounding an unmistakable tooth. The fluid accumulates after the enamel crown is completed, and the cyst skoIt is attached to the tooth at a point where the enamel meets the root. Although Dentigerous Cyst is usually small in size, large can develop and can cause teeth or disrupt the jaw, maybe even cause a fracture in extreme cases. Sometimes the cyst can be infected. In very rare cases, one can turn into ameloblastoma, a tumor that, although benign, causes a problem by growing and attacking tissues around it and must be surgically removed.

Although dental cyst can be recognized on the X -ray, if it is not very small, it is usually removed surgically, along with the associated tooth. Even a small cyst is generally monitored for any size enlargement. Oncedigerous the cyst has been extracted, it can be examined microscopically to distinguish it from certain tumors that can mimic its appearance on the X -ray. These include ameloblastoma and a type of cancer known as spinocellular carcinoma, which can occasionally arise from Dentigerous Cyst. Cysts and tooth can usually be surgically extrewBe without any complications and is unlikely that the cyst would repeat, except in rare cases where the removal was incomplete.
