Abstract
- A cyst is cavity occuring in either hard or soft tissue with a liquid, semiliquid material, or air content. It is surrounded by a definite connective tissue wall or capsule and usually has an epithelial lining. The contained substance is a predominant feature in proportion to the size of the entire mass of tissue. It was classified as odontogenic cyst and non-odontogenic cyst in origin. The anatomic distribution, clinical features, final diagnosis, and treatment methods are discussed.
