title: Gingival cyst of the adult: a review and a report of eight cases.
abstract: The gingival cyst of the adult (GCA) is an uncommon gingival lesion that is usually found within attached or unattached soft tissues. It is generally considered to be a cyst of odontogenic origin, though this is still debated somewhat. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of GCA and summarizes the features of eight cases.
