On the other hand, only 2.7 percent of dentigerous cysts involved the maxillary premolar. Mourshed stated that the incidence of dentigerous cyst has been reported as 1.44 in every 100 unerupted teeth, [12] so dentigerous cysts involving the premolars are rare. Dentigerous cysts most commonly occur in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life.
Over time, the cyst decreases in size and bone regenerates in the cavity space. Marsupialization could also be performed, which involves suturing the edges of the gingiva surrounding the cyst to remain open. The cyst then drains its contents and heal without being prematurely closed. The end result is the same as the cystostomy, bone regeneration.

Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare developmental lesion that comes from odontogenic epithelium. [2] It is also known as a calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor , which is a proliferation of odontogenic epithelium and scattered nest of ghost cells and calcifications that may form the lining of a cyst , or present as a solid mass.
On radiographs, the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor presents as a radiolucency (dark area) around an unerupted tooth extending past the cementoenamel junction.. It should be differentially diagnosed from a dentigerous cyst and the main difference is that the radiolucency in case of AOT extends apically beyond the cementoenamel junction.
It is considered that these cell rests proliferate to form epithelial lining of various odontogenic cysts such as radicular cyst under the influence of various stimuli. They are named after Louis-Charles Malassez (1842–1909) who described them.

An odontoma, also known as an odontome, is a benign tumour [4] linked to tooth development. [5] Specifically, it is a dental hamartoma, meaning that it is composed of normal dental tissue that has grown in an irregular way.
