Enucleation 1. Radicular Cyst Separation of the lesion from the bone, with preservation of bone continuity 2. Dentigerous Cyst 2. Curettage 3. Odontogenic keratocyst (Kerato- Removal by scraping or morcellation odontogenic tumour) 3. Marsupialization 4. Gorlin Cyst Surgical removal of overlying tissue, creating a window in the wall of the cyst decompresses cyst & s intra-cystic 5. Gingival cyst of infants / Epstein’s Pearls pressure promotes cyst shrinkage & bone fill 6. Mucocoeles 4. Resection without continuity defect 7. Fissural Cysts 5. Resection with continuity defect 6.

Main (1970) • Site predilection – more in maxillary anterior • Paradental Cyst: Cyst of inflammatory origin occurring on the region lateral aspects of the roots of partially erupted mandibular third – high prevalence of palatal invaginations in the molars with an associated history of pericoronitis. Craig (1976) maxillary lateral incisors • Mandibular Infected Buccal Cyst: Cyst of inflammatory origin – >> placement of silicate restorations occurring on the buccal aspects of mandibular molars in young – teeth are more prone to traumatic injuries children.
