Scope note: Quistes que se encuentran en las mandíbulas y que surgen del epitelio que participa en la formación del diente. Incluyen los quistes foliculares (quistes primordiales, quistes dentígeros, quistes multiloculares), quistes laterales periodontales y quistes radiculares. Pueden queratinizarse (queratoquistes odontogénicos). Los quistes foliculares pueden producir ameloblastomas y, en raros casos, sufrir una transformación maligna.

Scope note: Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation.
