Dentigerous cysts are the most common type of developmental odontogenic cysts. They form as a result of a separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth. Usually this lesion can be asymptomatic. Such cysts are often discovered accidently on inspection of x-rays. In other advanced cases, cortical bone expansion, displacement of teeth, secondary infection can be observed. The treatment of dentigerous cyst is enucleation. And according to size, location of lesion and environmental structure marsupialization can be considered. However, Marsupialization takes long treatment time and, cystic tissues are remained so secondary surgery may be needed for total removal., Risks of oroantral fistula, damage on maxillary sinus wall and infraorbital nerve can be considered as complications of conventional surgical treatment of cysts located in maxillary sinus. We treated third molar origin dentogerous cyst located in maxillary sinus removing endoscopically both the tooth and an associated dentigerous cyst. We report our clinical experience with literature review.

The glandular odontogenic cyst is an uncommon odontogenic cyst as a distinct entity. We reviewed a series of 7 glandular odontogenic cysts of the jaws experienced between 2003 and 2006 at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, Chosun university. The study group consisted of 3 females (42.9%) and 4 males (57.1%), with an age range of 31 to 75 years and mean age was 58.6 years. The maxilla was involved in 5 cases (71.4%) and the mandible in 2 cases (28.6%). Three cases involved impacted tooth. Clinically 6 cases showed swelling and tenderness. All the lesion presented well-defined unilocular radiolucent lesion radiographically. Provisional clinical diagnosis was varied, incisional biopsy was done in 1 case. Histopathologically, those were lined by non-keratinized stratified epithelium and thickened epithelial segments (plaques) are seen within the lining epithelium. And epithelial lining contains eosinophilic cuboidal type cells, mucous cells and mucin pools in microcystic areas are identified. All cysts were treated by enucleation. All cases are not recurred during follow up period.

The purpose of this study is to report on five cases treated with bone graft using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) on jaw defects after cyst enucleation. We performed bone graft with BMP (rhBMP-2+${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite) wrapped with a collagen sponge on jaw defects after cyst enucleation. Postoperative panoramic radiographs were taken periodically. After 1 to 12 months, bone remodeling was observed in the jaw defect area. In our cases, there were few signs or symptoms of recurrence of the cyst during the follow-up period.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical and histological features of odontogenic keratocyst Patients and Methods: A retrosective review of 100 patients who were diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst by hitological findings during the period of January 2000 and December 2005 in the Dept. of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery Pusan National University was consecuted. For each patient, age, sex, location of lesion, initial diagnosis by radiographic features, treatment procedure, hitologic findings and recurrance rate were evaluated. Results: In this study, OKC has male prevalance to female by 1.38:1, and most likely occurs during third decade. The most common site of lesion was mandibular ramus region(34.6%) and the most common symptom was swelling(50%). The most common initial diagnosis by radiographic findings was OKC and cyst enucleation was the most common treatment method. The recurrance rate was 28% and existence of daugther cyst is thought to be most convincing factor for prediction of recurrence. Conclusion: In this study, total recurrence rate was 28% and existence of daugther cyst is thought to be most convincing factor for prediction of recurrence. But, since 97% of patients were treated by enucleation and adjuntive excision, further styudy is need about concordance of recurrence rate with surgical method.

선양 치성 종양(adenomatoid odontogenic tumor)은 악골에 드물게 발생하는 치성 기원의 종양이다. 이전에는 법랑모세포종(ameloblastoma)의 한 종류로 여겨졌으나 양성이며 재발되는 경우는 극히 드물다. 상악 견치에 호발하며 대개는 무증상이지만 크기가 천천히 커져 무통성 종창을 일으킬 수 있다. 방사선학적으로 함치성 낭종(dentigerous cyst) 및 단방성 법랑모세포종(unicystic ameloblastoma)과 매우 유사하다. 일반적으로 보존적인 소파술(curettage) 및 적출술(enucleation)을 통해 치료한다. 본 증례는 하악 우측 측절치 미맹출을 주소로 내원한 10세 여자 환아에서 방사선 사진 검사를 통해 치아의 매복 및 병소를 확인하고 적출술을 시행하였다. 치아에는 브라켓을 부착하여 교정적 정출을 유도하였다. 조직학적 검사를 통해 선양 치성 종양으로 확진되었으며 양호한 치료 결과를 보였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Background: Cyst enucleation, which extracts only the tumor with the application of Carnoy's solution (CS), has been suggested as a conservative treatment with a low recurrence rate and morbidity. However, there has been a concern that CS's contact with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) can cause neurons to degenerate and cause sensory dysfunction. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the neurosensory function after surgical treatment with or without the application of CS. Methods: While controlling the effects of sex, age, follow-up period, and invasion size of the tumor, we performed the binary logistic regression analysis to examine whether or not the sensory function of the patients who were treated with CS (n = 19) for the cyst enucleation procedure was significantly different from those who were not treated with CS (n = 58) at the end of the follow-up period. Results: The logistic regression result showed that the use of CS was not significantly related to the normalness of sensory function at the end of the follow-up period. Rather, the invasion size of the cyst was significantly associated with sensory dysfunction. Conclusions: CS may be used for patients who are diagnosed with OKC and UAM without much fear of its impact on sensory dysfunction. However, a small number of patients who were treated with CS experienced severe sensory damage and did not recover at the end of the follow-up period, suggesting the need for further analysis of these patients.

Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) located in the maxillae have rarely been reported in the literature. Standard treatment modalities for OKC range from marsupialization to marginal resection. However, most of the studies on OKC treatment have been related to mandibular OKCs. The anatomical structure and loose bone density of the maxillae and the empty space of the maxillary sinus could allow rapid growth of a lesion and the ability to tolerate tumor occupancy in the entire maxilla within a short period of time. Therefore, OKCs of the maxillae require more aggressive surgery, suchas resection. As an alternative, this report introduces a modified Carnoy's solution, a strong acid, as an adjuvant chemotherapy after cyst enucleation. This report describes the clinical outcomes of enucleation using a modified Carnoy's solution in patients with large OKCs on the posterior maxillae. In three cases, application of a modified Carnoy's solution had few side effects or morbidity. Each patient was followed for four to six years, and none showed any signs of recurrence. In conclusion, adjuvant treatment with a modified Carnoy's solution can be considered a treatment option capable of reducing the recurrence rate of OKC in the maxillae.

Thirteen-year-old girl complaining of the swelling and pain on the left midface visited our dental hospital. On the radiographic examination, well-defined radiolucent lesion with hyperostotic border was found in the left maxilla accompanying with the external root resorption of the involved teeth and the displaced second molar. CT showed calcified bodies, thinning of hard palate, inferior orbital wall and lateral wall of nasal fossa, and thinning and perforation of the buccal plate of the maxilla. Enucleation and curettage of the lesion and nasoantrostomy was carried out and histopathologic examination mainly showed a solid tumor tissue composed of odontogenic epithelium and pulp tissues admixed with dentin and enamel formation. And some part of reduced follicular epithelium of tooth germ showed a change mimicking calcifying odontogenic cyst. Taken together, we concluded the lesion is an ameloblastic fibro-odontoma with a change of calcifying odontogenic cyst.

Botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is considered a rare multilocular variant of the lateral periodontal cyst. In this report, a 67-year-old male visited with chief complaint of severe mobility on mandibular incisors. Multilocular radiolucent lesion was seen from the right premolar to the left premolar area, involving almost the whole mandible. Histologically, the botryoid odontogenic cyst showed focal nodular thickening of the lining epithelium. These thickening often showed swirling appearance of the cells. Cyst enucleation and bone graft on mandible anterior and both body area were performed under general anesthesia, and postoperative healing was favorable without recurrence.
