Botryoid odontogenic cyst : clinical and pathological analysis in relation to recurrence
2007
Objetives. Botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is considered as an unusual multilocular variant of lateral periodontal cyst (LPC). Review of the literature indicates that this lesion has higher risk of recurrence than LPC, but objetive reasons are still unknown. The aim of this study is identify main clinical and pathological variables associated with the risk of recurrence. Study design. A complete literature review about cases of BOC was made, from its first description up to the year 2006. A total of 67 cases of BOC were identified from year 1973 (first case) to the last publication in 2005. Results. 85.2% of the BOCs were located in the jaw, affecting to women (54.8% of the cases) in the fi…
Swelling of the mandibular alveolar mucosa
2022
Una donna di 30 anni si presenta all’osservazione degli autori presso il Settore di Medicina Orale (Università degli Studi di Palermo) per la comparsa di una neoformazione gengivale a livello del V sestante. In anamnesi patologica remota non risultano patologie sistemiche attuali o pregresse, la paziente è in apparenti buone condizioni di salute, riferisce di non assumere farmaci e non ha subito in passato interventi chirurgici. La paziente, non fumatrice, non riferisce dolore nella sede interessata ma progressivo accrescimento della lesione. All’esame obiettivo extra-orale non si apprezzano linfoadenopatie latero-cervicali o altre anomalie. All’esame obiettivo intra-orale si rileva una neo…
Accuracy of computer-aided image analysis in the diagnosis of odontogenic cysts: A systematic review
2020
Background This study aimed to search for scientific evidence concerning the accuracy of computer-assisted analysis for diagnosing odontogenic cysts. Material and Methods A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA statements and considering eleven databases, including the grey literature. Protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD 42020189349). The PECO strategy was used to define the eligibility criteria and only studies involving diagnostic accuracy were included. Their risk of bias was investigated using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool. Results Out of 437 identified citations, five papers, published between 2006 and 2019, fulfilled the criteria and were i…
Prevalence and distribution of odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts in a Turkish Population
2011
Objective: To determine the relative frequency and distribution of odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts in a large Turkish population. Study Design A retrospective survey of jaw cysts was undertaken at the Oral Diagnosis and Radiology and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Ondokuz Mayıs University Dental School, Samsun, Turkey. Data were retrieved from clinical files, imaging, and histopathology reports from 2000 to 2008; a total of 12,350 patients were included. In each case, we analyzed age, gender, type and number of cysts, and cyst location. Imaging patterns and pathologies associated with cystic lesions were also determined. Results: The prevalence of odontogenic and nonodontog…
Synchronous occurrence of two lateral periodontal cysts in the same patient. Report of a rare case and review of the literature
2020
We present a case of a patient with two lateral periodontal cysts in the maxilla and the mandible, respectively, and review the English literature on multiple lateral periodontal (LPCs) cysts and/or gingival cysts (GCs) and botryoid odontogenic cysts (BOCs). The patient was a 59 year-old female with two fluctuant swellings covered by semi-lucent mucosa on the attached gingiva between the maxillary and mandibular right canine and first premolar teeth, respectively. Periapical radiographs revealed at the respective sites between the roots of the canine and first premolar teeth areas unilocular radiolucencies. Intra-operatively, the presence of bone cavities was confirmed at both sites. The mi…
An unusual clinicoradiographic presentation of a lateral periodontal cyst : report of two cases
2006
The lateral periodontal cyst and the botryoid odontogenic cyst are two rare nosological entities, who, despite their radiological and clinical presentation can only be diagnosed by their rather typical histopathological characteristics. The purpose of this article is to report two cases of radiolucent cystic lesions of the mandible, located in the premolar area, with a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of residual cyst, which showed histological features of a lateral periodontal cyst. Histopathologically, the lateral periodontal cyst lining is characterized by a thin cuboidal to stratified squamous non-keratinizing epithelium, ranging from one to five cell layers and presence of one or mo…
