Tooth cyst

The cyst of tooth represents the inflammatory cavity filled with cystous liquid with a cover from a multilayer Киста зуба на его корнеflat epithelium and connecting fabric which produces liquid and as if "inflates" a cavity from within, promoting its growth. Most often the cyst of tooth is formed on its root, however, places of its localization can include area under a fang or around it. The most widespread of them are the foretooth cyst, a tooth cyst in a Highmore's bosom, a wisdom tooth cyst.

Diameter of a cyst of tooth can fluctuate from 5 mm to several centimeters. Specialists call education less than 5 mm in size a granuloma.

Tooth cyst origins

There is a fang cyst when the organism tries to cope with the infection brought to the root canal of tooth. At the same time the infected cells die off, and around a devitalized zone there is a capsule - the dense cover isolating affected cells of fabrics from healthy. In certain cases infectious diseases (for example, antritis) at which pathogenic microflora is brought in a gingiva by a blood flow can become origins of a disease. Also it is possible to carry to the reasons of emergence of a cyst of tooth:

  • The started caries;
  • Wrong treatment of root canals;
  • Mechanical injury;
  • Unsuccessfully adjusted tooth crown, as a result of hit of the food remains under it.

Depending on an origin of a disease distinguish the following types of a cyst of tooth:

  • Radicular (fang cyst). Develops, as a rule, at chronic periodontitis;
  • The follicular (zubosoderzhashchy) cyst of tooth arising owing to infection of not cut through dental germ;
  • Keratokista or primary cyst which is formed of the remains of zuboobrazovatelny fabric at disturbance of its development;
  • Retromolar cyst (paradental). Appears because of a chronic inflammation as a result of the complicated wisdom eruption;
  • Residual or a cyst of a fang which remained in a bone after its removal;
  • Eruption cyst. It is observed at children of 7-10 years during secondary dentition.

Tooth cyst symptoms

Insidiousness of a disease consists in its slow, but inevitable growth in the absence of any symptoms. The attentive person at early stages of a disease can notice only small darkening or shift of tooth.

The cyst of tooth can long not prove, destroying fangs and tissues of a jaw - until reaches the big sizes. When the cavity becomes from 3 cm in size, the first symptoms of a cyst of tooth begin to be shown: a febricula, a headache, a hyperadenosis, temperature increase, tooth cyst pain at a food nadkusyvaniye, swelled.

Later stage of a disease is shown in the form of a tumor of that part of the face on which the tooth cyst is located - it becomes asymmetric, there is a pulling, unpleasant pain. The aggravation leads to emergence of purulent processes in a bone tissue - to a dontogenous periostitis or gumboil.

If the cyst of tooth hurts, aches, being followed by a headache, do not postpone a visit to the doctor: timely treatment of a cyst of tooth will allow to avoid complications.

Tooth cyst complications

In spite of the fact that the initial problem of a disease - to protect an organism from an infection, the started cyst of tooth can lead to the following undesirable effects:

  • To periodontitis;
  • To gumboil;
  • To inflammation of a bone tissue of a jaw (osteomyelitis);
  • To abscess;
  • To dedentition;
  • To phlegmon of the person or neck (to an acute purulent inflammation of soft tissues without accurately expressed borders);
  • To the general blood poisoning (sepsis);
  • Benign tumor;
  • To cancer.

Treatment of a cyst of tooth

Modern dentists propagandize treatment which is intended to keep tooth with use of the sparing techniques. Depending on a disease stage treatment of a cyst of tooth can be performed in two ways:

  • Therapeutic;
  • Surgical.

At therapeutic treatment the root channel is washed out by medicines and cemented. This method of treatment is applied if the size of a cyst of tooth does not exceed 8 mm.

The surgical way of treatment is followed by either removal of a cyst of tooth, or excision of its covers (resection). Tooth at the same time remains, and the tops of affected roots removed through a section on a gingiva are replaced with artificial materials. After carrying out operation on removal of a cyst of tooth to the patient antibiotics are appointed.

In certain cases treatment of a disease demands removal of a cyst together with tooth. Most often, need for it arises at late stages of a disease or at localization of a cyst on a wisdom tooth.
