Article Abstract
Botryoid odontogenic cyst (BOC) is considered to be a polycystic variant of the lateral periodontal cyst (LPC) as the specimen resembled a cluster of grapes. It is a non-inflammatory odontogenic cyst. The BOCs can be unicystic or multicystic. These cysts have potential to extend in the bone and become multilocular and they have a high recurrence rate. Till now, only 73 cases of BOC have been reported. The pathogenesis of BOC is still debatable. We review different pathogenesis proposed for BOC and discuss a rare case of BOC developing from lining of an abnormally large LPC which showed aggressive behaviour in terms of growth and size.

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor Arising From a Dentigerous Cyst in a 10-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign, well-encapsulated odontogenic lesion that typically presents as a slow-growing, asymptomatic mass. Surgical enucleation or curettage remains the treatment of choice due to the tumor's non-invasive nature and well-defined borders, which facilitate complete removal with minimal risk of recurrence. Interestingly, some studies have suggested that AOTs may occasionally arise within pre-existing dentigerous cysts, indicating a possible developmental relationship between the two entities.

We describe a novel technique in which a guide wire is used for the placement of a decompression tube in patients with large odontogenic cysts involving crucial structures. This technique facilitates precise placement of the tube, rather than blindly positioning it within the space.

A clinical case of successful application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to eliminate a large residual cavity after enucleation of a radicular cyst is described. The method is based on the use of biological substances that produce growth factors that stimulate reparative osteogenesis. A similar source of growth factors is PRF.

In dental practice, impacted canines are common clinical conditions that compromise tooth mobility, thereby severely affecting functionality and esthetics. They also represent a significant challenge, particularly when associated with odontogenic pathologies such as dentigerous cysts and odontomas. These entities, despite benign, can cause complications, including tooth displacement, root resorption, and alterations in normal eruption, compromising both esthetics and function.
