In fact, dental cysts are well understood, that is, a cyst containing teeth. The reason for their occurrence is also well understood, that is, in the process of tooth growth and development, after the crown or root formation, not according to the normal growth direction, but lateral or even reverse growth, that is, to the non-predetermined orbit eruption. In this case, the soft tissue epithelium around the tooth secretes fluid to fill the gap, which causes shrinkage between the enamel epithelium and the crown, showing fluid leakage and thus forming a dental cyst, which normally comes from a single tooth germ. Clinically, the cyst contains one tooth, but there are also multiple tooth germs. Clinically, the cyst contains multiple teeth. The typical imaging manifestation of a dental cyst is a well-defined unicellular transmission area in the jaw, surrounding the neck of the unerupted tooth.
