ABSTRACT:

Cyst in the jawbones can be categorized into two types, namely odontogenic and non odontogenic cysts. Odontogenic cysts are pathological cavities lined with odontogenic epithelial cells and surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. A 29-years-old male patient came to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic with complaints of swelling in his upper jaw region since 1 month. Physical examination showed bony swelling of labial vestibule in tooth 21 to 23 region. Radiographic images show unilocular radiolucent lesions with clear sclerotic borders. The patient was diagnosed with Odontogenic Cyst. Complete surgical enucleation of the cyst along with attached tooth to bone cavity structure and also removal of adjacent teeth including non vital tooth 22 and embedded tooth 23 was done under general anesthesia. Careful evaluation of the patient based on clinical, radiographic and histopathological examination is needed by the clinician to provide appropriate treatment. Effective collaboration between clinicians and the radiologist is critical to achieving an accurate diagnosis and suitable therapy.
