Dental cyst canceration?

Dental cysts do not usually become cancerous, but in rare cases they may become malignant. Dental cysts do not usually become cancerous. Dental cysts are a common odontogenic cystic lesion, usually occurring in the jaw bone. They are formed by the proliferation of residual epithelial tissue from tooth buds or dental plates during tooth development. Dental cysts are lined with stratified squamous epithelium, similar to the epithelium of the oral mucosa, but usually without keratosis or spikes. Although dental cysts are benign lesions, they may lead to jaw resorption and tooth displacement if left untreated. Larger dental cysts may require surgery. It should be noted that although dental cysts generally do not become cancerous, there are very few cases where malignant changes may occur, especially for long-standing, larger dental cysts. Therefore, if dental cysts are found, they should be treated promptly. Doctors will formulate appropriate treatment plans according to the size, location, symptoms, etc. of the cyst. In addition, for some special groups, such as children, pregnant women, etc., the treatment of dental cysts needs to be more cautious. Before treatment, the doctor will evaluate the specific conditions of the patient and choose the most suitable treatment method. In short, dental cysts are generally not cancerous, but they need timely treatment. If there is any doubt about the treatment of dental cysts, it is recommended to consult an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
