New developments in selected cysts of the jaws.
The number and variety of cysts that occur in the jaws are greater than those in any other part of the body. Consequently, dental practitioners must keep up with advances in this field, including the definition of new entities, such as the glandular odontogenic cyst; the deletion of the old incorrect concept of maxillofacial fissural cysts, including the globulo-maxillary cyst; and the advances in the molecular biology of established cysts, such as the dentigerous cyst and the odontogenic keratocyst.
