VEGA LLAURADO, A. et al. Therapeutic options in odontogenic cyst: Review. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.2, pp.81-93. ISSN 2340-3152.

The maxillary bones constitute the base of a big variety of cyst and tumours that can be difficult to diagnose. Among all the tumor processes that can occur in the maxillofacial area, cysts are of the utmost importance due to their frequency. Jaw cysts have different origins and clinical behavior. After the OMS classification in 1992, this review examines the clinical, radiographic and epidemiological characteristics of the cyst of the odontogenic development. An appropriate clinical and radiographic exploration on the part of the dentist is enough to reach a presumptive diagnosis. The clinical and therapeutic considerations of each of these cysts are variable, so it is necessary to know their epidemiological behavior. The presumptive diagnosis, the size of the cyst and its relationship with neighboring anatomical structures will determine the type of treatment. The definitive diagnosis will be determined by the anatomical and pathological diagnosis.
