1/66. Cystic management in a 10-year old child.cysts are among the most common lesions found in the oral cavity. These may be developmental in origin or secondary to chronic infections. Untreated, cysts may expand causing local tissue destruction and deformities. Basically, two treatment methods are employed. Enucleation and/or Marsupialization. The following case involves a child treated at the College of dentistry, University of the philippines, for a large cystic lesion involving the permanent cuspid and the deciduous dentition. The lesion was accidentally discovered on a panoramic radiograph. The child underwent extraction of deciduous teeth and marsupialization, which later helped in the eruption of the malposed permanent teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/66. The treatment of mandibular cysts associated with osteogenesis imperfecta.A fifteen-year-old boy with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and dentinogenesis imperfecta also had a big cyst in the mandible and needed surgical therapy. Six months postoperatively we saw a complete regeneration of the bone-structures. We came to the conclusion that cysts which appear independently from the disease of OI can heal after surgical intervention.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/66. Two radicular cysts associated with endodontically treated primary teeth: rationale for long-term follow-up.Although radicular cysts are relatively rare, they do occur. In addition, it appears that these lesions present in association with endodontically treated primary teeth. As shown in this paper and previous reports, cysts can be associated with a variety of pulp therapies. These lesions can lead to bony expansion and resorption. Radicular cysts may also cause displacement and damage to the developing permanent dentition. Given the severity of these sequelae it is prudent to recommend regular radiographic examination of primary teeth that have undergone pulp therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/66. CT analysis of a complicated nasopalatine duct cyst.A study was conducted to evaluate CT imaging in differentiating nonodontogenic nasopalatine duct cysts from odontogenic radicular cysts. The patient's palatine cystic lesion was analyzed by CT and excised with postoperative microscopic identification. CT findings of a nasopalatine cyst are midline location, smooth expansion with sclerotic margins and displacement of teeth apices. Radicular cysts differ in that the teeth apices are within the cyst rather than being displaced. We concluded that differentiation is clearly demonstrated by CT images.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/66. radicular cyst associated with a primary molar following pulp therapy: a case report.A radicular cyst arising from the primary second molar and causing displacement of the permanent successor to the lower border of the mandible, with accompanying buccal expansion, was examined clinically and radiographically. Extraction of the primary molar and extirpation of the cyst led to uneventful healing. The primary molar had received pulp treatment with therapeutic agents approximately 1.5 years prior to the patient's first visit. The relationship between pulp treatment and rapid growth of the radicular cyst is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/66. Delayed eruption of premolars with periodontitis of primary predecessors and a cystic lesion: a case report.Apical periodontitis after pulp therapy in a primary tooth can cause delayed eruption of the permanent successor. A case of bilateral delayed eruption of mandibular premolars is presented. The patient. a 13-year-old girl, was referred by her dentist. Oral findings showed that the right first and left second primary molars were retained. Other premolars had erupted. An orthopantomogram revealed apical periodontitis, affecting both retained primary molars. The right first mandibular premolar was impacted against the alveolar bone and root of the second premolar, and there was a large cystic lesion in close association with the left second mandibular premolar. Both primary molars were extracted, and the cystic lesion was treated by marsupialization. Fenestration and traction were performed on the right first premolar. Correct tooth alignment was achieved with orthodontic appliances. If the problem had been detected earlier, treatment of the premolars might have been easier. Clinical and radiological follow-up, therefore, of primary teeth that have undergone pulp therapy procedures should be performed until eruption of succedaneous teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/66. Case report: a large radicular cyst involving the entire maxillary sinus.cysts of the maxillary sinus of odontogenic origin have been well-documented in the literature. Most of these lesions involve the apex of the offending tooth and appear as a well-defined periapical radiolucency. Presented here is a case of an unusually large lesion, which involved the entire maxillary sinus and extended into the floor of the nose. The lesion also caused paresthesia on the affected side. The lesion was removed with conservative treatment without any postoperative complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/66. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor mimicking a periapical (radicular) cyst: a case report.The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign (hamartomatous), noninvasive lesion with slow but progressive growth. A rare subvariant of the extrafollicular type of AOT may mimic periapical disease radiographically. We report on a 15-year-old girl with a periapical radiolucent lesion affecting teeth 7 and 8 initially suspicious of periapical disease, although clinical findings seemed to indicate a nonendodontic lesion. An exploratory surgical approach was chosen, and the final diagnosis of the removed noncystic tissue mass was microscopically confirmed to be an AOT.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/66. Paradental cyst mimicking a radicular cyst on the adjacent tooth: case report and review of terminology.A distinctive form of paradental cyst can occur on the buccal and apical aspects of erupted mandibular molars. This cyst has peculiar clinical and radiographic features, although the microscopic findings are the same as those of odontogenic inflammatory cysts. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems can occur when this lesion is misinterpreted as a radicular cyst. The purpose of this paper is to present an additional case of a paradental cyst in the buccal and mesial aspects of a mandibular second molar involving the apical area of a mandibular first molar. The difficulty of diagnosis, treatment, and controversies regarding terminology are also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6.5keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/66. plasmacytoma of anterior maxilla mimicking periapical cyst.An unusual case of plasmacytoma mimicking a large periapical cyst in the anterior maxilla is described. Of the involved teeth, 22 was discoloured and had an open, immature apex, a feature strongly suggestive of the lesion being of pulpal origin. The case was treated by a conservative endodontic approach, but failed to show any improvement. Apical surgery comprising complete enucleation of the cystic lesion and extraction of the involved tooth was carried out. The unexpected histopathological finding was a plasmacytoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = cyst (Clic here for more details about this article) |
