Abstract

AbstractCysts of the Oro-Maxillofacial region have common occurrence in comparison to any other parts of the body. These can be true cysts or pseudocysts and can be found in the jaw bones or in the soft tissues. Cysts are of various types, and over the years, various classifications are put forward, which are helpful to identify each cyst, based on its origin and its clinical and histopathological presentation. Based on the classification, one can also decide the treatment plan accordingly. The classifications are given by various researchers and also by WHO. In this chapter, various odontogenic and nonodontogenic cysts and their treatment aspect are discussed in detail.
