Developmental odontogenic cysts - what does this mean
Developmental odontogenic cysts are cysts that form in the jawbone due to the abnormal growth of the dental follicle, which is the tissue that surrounds the developing tooth. this can occur due to a genetic mutation or a disruption in the normal development of the tooth. these cysts can cause pain, swelling, and other dental problems if left untreated.
What happens during the disease - developmental odontogenic cysts
Developmental odontogenic cysts are a type of odontogenic cyst that arise from the developmental rests of the odontogenic epithelium. these cysts are caused by an abnormal growth of the epithelial cells which can lead to an accumulation of fluid and the formation of a cyst. the cysts can occur in any area of the jawbone where odontogenic epithelium is present and can lead to the destruction of the surrounding bone.
Developmental odontogenic cysts - Prevention
Developmental odontogenic cysts can be prevented by regular dental checkups and prompt treatment of any dental infections. additionally, good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, can help to reduce the risk of developing these cysts.
