Dentigerous cyst is a type of odontogenic cysts and generally occurs in the ages of twenties or thirties. Dentigerous cyst always includes a tooth which cannot complete the eruption process and occurs around the crown by the fluid accumulation between the layers of enamel organ. In rare cases, dentigerous cyst occurs in the first decade of life and develops in an immature permanent tooth as a result of a chronic inflammation of overlying nonvital primary tooth.These cyst often show no symptoms, and they are generally detected by a radiographic examination to find the reason for the delayed eruption.
A cyst is an epithelium-lined sac containing fluid or semisolid material. In the formation of a cyst, the epithelial cells first proliferate and later undergo degeneration and liquefaction. The liquefied material exerts equal pressure on the walls of the cyst from within. Cysts grow by expansion and thus displace the adjacent teeth by pressure. May can produce expansion of the cortical bone. On a radiograph, the radiolucency of a cyst is usually bordered by a radiopaque periphery of dense sclerotic bone. The radiolucency may be unilocular or multilocular. Odontogenic cysts are those which arise from the epithelium associated with the development of teeth. The source of epithelium is from the enamel organ, the reduced enamel epithelium, the cell rests of Malassez or the remnants of the dental lamina.
Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is the cyst arising from the cell rests of dental lamina. It can occur anywhere in the jaw, but commonly seen in the posterior part of the mandible. Radiographically, most OKCs are unilocular when presented at the periapex and can be mistaken for radicular or lateral periodontal cyst.

By definition, a cyst is a “pouch” or sac without an opening, provided with a distinct membrane, and containing fluid or semifluid material, abnormally developed in one of the natural cavities or in the substance of an organ. Cysts of the oral region may be epithelial or non-epithelial, odontogenic or non-odontogenic, developmental, or inflammatory in origin. The distribution of jaw cysts according to diagnosis in a general population is given. The treatment of choice is dependent on the size and localization of the lesion, the bone integrity of the cystic wall, its proximity to vital structures and patient age.Treatment modalities are discussed.

An overview of various pathological processes affecting the Jaw Bones- Maxilla and Mandible including odontogenic cysts and tumours including their radiological findings!
Myofascial pain syndrome (previously known as myofascial pain and dysfunction syndrome [MPDS or MFPDS]) can occur in patients with a normal temporomandibular joint. It is caused by muscle tension, fatigue, or (rarely) spasm in the masticatory muscles. Symptoms include pain and tenderness in and around the masticatory structures or referred to other locations in the head and neck, and, often, abnormalities of jaw mobility. Diagnosis is based on history and physical examination. Conservative treatment, including analgesics, muscle relaxation, modification of parafunctional behavior (eg, teeth clenching and grinding), and use of oral appliances usually is effective.
Oral and maxillofacial imaging is no exception. As a specialty that deals with uncommon lesions and complex
anatomy, both students and practicing dental clinicians
may benefit from this simplistic, pattern-based approach.
This presentation describes a compendium of the classic signs in oral and maxillofacial radiology.
Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) (sometimes known as radiation toxicity or radiation sickness) is an acute illness caused by irradiation of the entire body (or most of the body) by a high dose of penetrating radiation in a very short period of time (usually a matter of minutes). The major cause of this syndrome is depletion of immature parenchymal stem cells in specific tissues.Examples of people who suffered from ARS are the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs, the firefighters that first responded after the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant event in 1986, and some unintentional exposures to sterilization irradiators.
Herpes zoster is a localised disease caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus that enters the cutaneous nerve endings during an earlier episode of chicken pox, travels to the dorsal root ganglia, and remains in latent form. The condition is characterised by occurrence of multiple, painful, unilateral vesicles and ulceration, and shows a typical single dermatome innervated by single dorsal root or cranial sensory ganglion.
The term “aphthous” is derived from a Greek word “aphtha” which means ulceration. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common painful oral mucosal conditions seen among patients.
Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disorder

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

2. Dentigerous Cyst (DC)
The term dentigerous means “containing tooth,”
and this is the characteristic description of the
cyst. A dentigerous cyst surrounds the crown of
an unerupted tooth, expands the follicle and is
characteristically attached to the cemento-
enamel junction of the unerupted tooth.
3. It is caused by alteration of reduced enamel
epithelium after the completion of amelogenesis,
which results in fluid accumulation between
epithelium and tooth crown.
4. Etiology of Dentigerous Cyst
The pathogenesis of dentigerous cyst is still
controversial.
Three feasible mechanisms have been proposed for
histogenesis of the cyst by Benn and Altini:
A- They proposed that developmental dentigerous
cyst might form a dental follicle and might become
secondarily inflamd, a source of inflammation being
a non-vital tooth.
5. B- The second mechanism they proposed was
formation of a radicular cyst at an apex of a non-
vital deciduous tooth followed by eruption of its
permanent sucessor into the radicular cyst resulting
in a dentigerous cyst of extrafollicular origin.
C- Follicle of permanent successor might get
secondarily infected from either periapical
inflammation of a non-vital predecessor or other
source leading to a dentigerous cyst formation.
6. Clinical features
Dentigerous cysts accounts for one of the most
common odontogenic cysts, frequently seen with
embedded unerupted teeth, supernumerary teeth,
and odontomes.
Occurrence of dentigerous cysts with deciduous
teeth is a rare phenomenon.
7. They are more frequent in the second and third
decades of life, with a male preference and the
mandible being the most influenced region.
Males are more affected with an incidence rate
of 1.6:1.
These cysts can lead to cortical bone expansion,
swelling, tooth mobility and displacement.
8. Cystic involvement of an unerupted mandibular
third molar may result in a ‘hollowing-out’ of the
entire ramus extending up to the coronoid process
and condyle as well as in expansion of the cortical
plate due to the pressure exerted by the lesion.
Cyst associated with a maxillary cuspid,
expansion of the anterior maxilla often occurs and
may superficially resemble an acute sinusitis or
cellulitis.
9. Dentigerous cyst occuring in association with
supernumerary tooth and mesiodens has been
occasionally seen.
About 5% of all dentigerous cysts are attributed
by the dentigerous cysts with supernumerary teeth.
They usually occur in the maxillary anterior region
in association with mesiodens.
10. Dentigerous cysts usually are solitary, however,
bilateral and multiple cysts may be seen with
syndromes such as :
Gardner's syndrome.
Mucopolysaccharidosis.
Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome.
Basal cell nevus syndrome.
Cleidocranial dysplasia.
11. Enamel hypoplasia seen when a dentigerous
cyst commences at an early stage of development
of the involved tooth whereas in cases where the
cyst originating after the completion of tooth
development, enamel hypoplasia is not a
significant factor.
12. Radiographic Features:
While a normal follicular space is 3–4 mm, a
dentigerous cyst can be suspected when the space
is more than 5 mm.
Radiographically, the dentigerous cyst usually
occurs as a well-defined unilocular radiolucency,
often with a sclerotic border.
13. As the epithelial lining is derived from the
reduced enamel epithelium, this radiolucency,
typically and characterstically surrounds the crown
of the tooth.
A large dentigerous cyst may sometimes resemble
a multilocular process, as bone trabeculae may be
seen within the radiolucency.
However, mostly dentigerous cysts are grossly and
histopathologically unilocular processes and
probably are never truly multilocular lesions.
14. A B C
A dentigerous cyst (a) unilocular and crown side
type; (b) multilocular type; (c) whole-tooth type.
15. Three types of dentigerous cyst have been
described radiographically:
(a) The central variety in which the tooth crown is
enclosed by the radiolucency, and the crown
protrudes into the cystic lumen.
(a) The lateral variety in which the cyst occurs
laterally along the tooth root, thus, partially
surrounding the crown.
16. (c) The circumferential variety exists when the cyst
not only surrounds the crown, but also extends
down along the root surface, thus, giving the
impression of the tooth within the cyst.
17. CT is useful to evaluate large lesions and can
show the origin, size, and internal contents of
the cyst and evaluate the integrity of the cortical
plate and its relationship to the adjacent
anatomic structures.
Significant cortical expansion or thinning of the
buccal and lingual cortical plates may be seen
with larger lesions.
18. MRI plays a key role in the diagnostic process by
providing new information which enabled us to
determine a consistent presumptive diagnosis and
consequently a more coherent surgical approach.
The T1-weighted image of the lesion showed an
intermediate signal, thus not being useful for
determination of the content of the lesion.
19. Nevertheless, T2-weighted image enabled to
observe an intense brightness inside the lesion,
which contributed significantly to the
interpretation of a probable cystic lesion rather
than tumoural.
20. CBCT is similar to panoramic radiography,
however, this exam provides more precise
information on the size, position, and relationship
of the lesion to the surrounding structures. In
classical helical computed tomography, the
content of a DC typically appears as low density
on CBCT (liquid-like).
21. Dentigerous cyst Aspirate:
Aspirate is Clear, pale, straw colored fluid which
contains “Cholesterol crystals” and the protein
content is in excess of 4.0 gm per 100 ml.
Histologic Features
Composed of a thin connective tissue wall with a
thin layer of stratified squamous epithelium lining
the lumen.
Rete peg formation is generally absent except in
cases that are secondarily infected.
22. The connective tissue wall is frequently quite
thickened and composed of a very loose fibrous
connective tissue or of a sparsely collagenized
myxomatous tissue.
An additional finding, especially in cysts which
exhibit inflammation, is the presence of Rushton
bodies within the lining epithelium.
23. Differential diagnosis :
Hyperplastic follicle.
Odontogenic keratocyst.
Ameloblastic fibroma.
Cystic ameloblastoma.
Treatment
Various treatment plans proposed for dentigerous
cysts are:
(a) Surgically removing the cyst. Consideration
should be taken not to damage the associated
permanent tooth.
24. (b) Cyst enucleation along with extraction of the
involved tooth.
(c) Marsupialization technique - involves removal of
the cyst, however, the developing tooth is preserved.
The offending tooth playa a major role in deciding
the type of surgical intervention required for the
dentigerous cyst.
25. Isolated lesions in young patients, where
preservation of the teeth is desirable,
marsupialization is the recommended treatment
option.
Potential Complications
The development of an ameloblastoma either from
the lining epithelium or from rests of odontogenic
epithelium in the wall of the cyst.
26. The development of epidermoid carcinoma from the
same two sources of epithelium.
The development of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma,
basically a malignant salivary gland tumor, from the
lining epithelium of the dentigerous cyst which
contains mucussecreting cells, or at least cells with
this potential, most commonly seen in dentigerous
cysts associated with impacted mandibular third
molars.
