Odontogenic Cysts of Oral Cavity Developmental:

• Gingival cyst of infants
• Odontogenic keratocyst (neoplasm)
• Dentigerous cyst
• Eruption cyst
• Lateral periodontal cyst
• Gingival cyst of adults
• Botryoid odontogenic cyst
• Glandular odontogenic cyst
• Calcifying odontogenic cyst (neoplasm).

Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumors

Odontogenic Cysts of the Oral Cavity: Inflammatory.

Periodontal cyst

• Radicular cyst
• Lateral cyst
• Residual cyst.

Paradental cysts (Inflammatory collateral cyst, mandibular infected buccal cyst).

For clinical and radiographic features

Complications of Dentigerous Cyst

• Mucoepidermoid carcinoma: This is the malignancy of the salivary gland, which is associated with dentigerous cyst which mostly consists of mucous-secreting cells.
• Ameloblastoma: It is mainly associated with the lining epithelium of dentigerous cyst or cell rests of odontogenic epithelium present in cyst.
