Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The lining of both developmental and inflammatory cysts of odontogenic origin is composed of stratified squamous epithelium. Numerous studies have documented various forms of metaplasia and degeneration arising in [...]
The epithelial lining of both the developmental and inflammatory cysts of odontogenic origin are primarily composed of squamous epithelium. Various forms of metaplasia and degenerations are observed in these epithelial linings e.g. mucous cells, ciliated cells, para and/or orthokeratinization and formation of hyaline bodies. The present study was designed to investigate the incidences of mucous cells in the epithelial lining of dentigerous cyst. Mucous cells were observed in 35% of the cysts examined. Moreover, the incidence of mucous cell was higher in maxilla than in mandible. KEYWORDS: Mucous cells; odontogenic cyst; dentigerous cyst.
