title: Cystic lesions of the mandible and maxilla.
abstract: Cystic lesions appearing in the maxilla and mandible have been shown with their typical radiographic features. In addition, this article has presented radiographic techniques used to diagnose these lesions. Cysts of the jaws are classified into two categories: odontogenic and nonodontogenic. Key features to differentiate among these cysts have been discussed. Finally, the article discussed the differentiation of jaw cysts from benign tumors that appear in the jaws.
