- Radicular cyst (associated with non-vital teeth)
- Residual cyst
Cystic Neoplasms:

Diagnosis of Odontogenic Cysts:

Treatment of Odontogenic Cysts:
- Range of treatments from simple enucleation to curettage to resection
- Endodontic treatment for small radicular cysts
- Curettage recommended for keratocyst due to high recurrence potential
- Conservative enucleation as the treatment of choice for most odontogenic cysts
- Pathological evaluation of the removed cyst to confirm diagnosis and rule out other neoplastic lesions
