Classification of Odontogenic Cysts: - Keratocyst (solitary or associated with Gorlin-Goltz or Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome) - Paradental cyst - Periapical cyst (most common odontogenic cyst) - Radicular cyst (associated with non-vital teeth) - Residual cyst

Cystic Neoplasms: - Keratocystic odontogenic tumor - Calcifying odontogenic tumor - Cystic ameloblastoma - Potential conversion of dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, and residual cyst into locally aggressive ameloblastoma or malignant squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma

Diagnosis of Odontogenic Cysts: - Presence of cholesterol clefts indicating periapical or inflamed dentigerous cyst on histopathology

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
