Clinical and radiological features of non-keratinized odontogenic cysts [1,2,7].
| Clinical features | Radiological features | |
|---|---|---|
| Radicular cyst | Most common odontogenic cyst. Invariably associated with a necrotic tooth. It may become residual after removal of the causative tooth without its enucleation. | Well-demarcated unilocular radiolucency at the root apex (apical cyst), or along the lateral root surface (lateral cyst) or found at a site of previous tooth extraction (residual cyst) (Fig. 1A). |
| Inflammatory collateral cyst | Always associated with a partially or recently erupted vital teeth with historic of pericoronitis or inflammation. Buccal aspect of mandibular molars is the most common location. | Well-demarcated or corticated unilocular radiolucency involving the buccal or distal aspect of a partially erupted molar (Fig. 1B). |
| Dentigerous cyst | Always associated with an impacted tooth, attached to its cemento-enamel junction | Well-defined unilocular radiolucency, surrounding the crown of an impacted tooth (Fig. 1C). |
