The Most common odontogenic cysts in the jaws are:
- A. Radicular cyst. ***
- B. Keratocyst.
The most common odontogenic cyst in the jaws is: A. Radicular cyst
Odontogenic keratocysts are also a type of odontogenic cyst, but they are less frequent than radicular cysts. Here's a breakdown:
Radicular cysts:
These cysts develop from inflamed dental tissue around the root of a tooth. They are the most prevalent type of odontogenic cyst, accounting for roughly 60% of all cases.
Odontogenic keratocysts:
These cysts arise from developmental remnants of tooth-forming tissue. While less common than radicular cysts, they can still occur in the jaws.
