AI Article Synopsis
- There are six types of aggressive jaw cysts that need careful management to prevent recurrence or severe disease: botryoid cysts, cysts that can turn into carcinomas, glandular odontogenic cysts, calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors, unicystic ameloblastomas, and keratocystic odontogenic tumors.
- The estimated incidence of these cysts varies based on review studies, highlighting the importance of understanding their behavior.
- Proper treatment relies on accurately determining whether a cyst is benign or potentially aggressive, which requires knowledge of their common clinical presentations and frequencies.
Article Abstract
There are essentially six types of aggressive cysts of the jaws that require special attention, so as to avoid recurrence, or even worse, widespread disease. They include, botryoid cysts, cysts in which carcinoma's arise, glandular odontogenic cysts, calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour, previously called calcifying odontogenic cyst and unicystic ameloblastoma and keratocystic odontogenic tumor, previously called odontogenic keratocysts. The estimated incidence of these cysts, based on some review studies has been discussed. The main issue, however, when treating a cyst of the jaws is; how sure can one be that the lesion is benign or potentially aggressive? In order to answer this question it is important to know how these cysts commonly present. The clinical presentation, frequency of occurrence and suggested modes of treatment has been addressed.
