Modern aspects of clinical, radiological and computed tomographic diagnostics of odontogenic cysts and the results of their treatment

Abstract

There are many classifications of jaw cystic formations. The most perfect is the International histological classification of odontogenic tumors, cystic lesions of the jaws and tumor-like processes, approved by WHO in 1971. According to WHO, the group of epithelial cysts includes both developing ones, including odontogenic (primordial or keratocyst, gingival, erupting, follicular) and non-ontogenic origin (nasopalatine duct, globular-maxillary, nasolabial or so-called naso-alveolar), and inflammatory (radicular) tumor-like formations.
