NCIt definition : A developmental cyst that arises from remnants of the dental lamina. It is characterized
by a thin, regular lining of parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium with palisading
hyperchromatic basal cells. It occurs most frequently in the mandible. Most lesions
present as painless radiolucencies and are found incidentally during radiographical
examination for other reasons. Treatment is most often by enucleation, or by surgical
resection for large lesions. Recurrences were more frequent in the past but are dramatically
reduced with meticulous treatment. (WHO 2017);
