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.
Initially, the cyst swells to a round hard protrusion, but later on the body resorbs some of the cyst wall, leaving a softer accumulation of fluid underneath the mucous membrane. [ citation needed ] Secondary [ clarification needed ] symptoms of periapical cysts include inflammation and infection of the pulp causing dental caries.
Jaw cysts affect around 3.5% of the population. 10 They are more common in males than females at a ratio of 1.6:1 and most people get them between their 40s and 60s. The order of the jaw cysts from most common to least common is; radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts, residual cysts and odontogenic keratocysts.
9. Cysts of the salivary glands: mucous extravasation cyst; mucous retention cyst; ranula; polycystic (dysgenetic) disease of the parotid; 10. Parasitic cysts: hydatid cyst; Cysticercus cellulosae; trichinosis; Buccal bifurcation cyst; Calcifying odontogenic cyst; Dentigerous cyst (associated with the crowns of non-erupted teeth) Glandular ...
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.
Odontogenic keratocysts are usually noted as incidental radiographic findings. Radiographically they can be seen as unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies. They can be mistaken for other cysts such as residual cysts or a dentigerous cyst if they occur over an unerupted tooth. [8] Relative incidence of odontogenic cysts. [9]

The technique is often applied to Gartner's duct cysts, pancreatic cysts, pilonidal cysts, and Bartholin's cysts. [ 1 ] In the case of a dentigerous cyst , marsupialization may be performed to allow the growing tooth associated with the cyst to continue eruption into the oral cavity. [ 2 ]
