Most frequent odontogenic cysts [21].

Type of cyst	Clinical presentation	Diagnostic modalities	Differential diagnosis	Management
Radicular cyst	It is caused by trauma or dental caries leading to dental pulp necrosis Apical epithelial cells (rests of Malassez) are triggered by pulpal inflammation, forming a Periapical cyst (PC)	Pulp testing, radiological, and histopathologic evaluation	Periapical granuloma, lateral radicular cysts	Root canal treatment, apicectomy, and tooth extraction or cyst removal
DC	It is caused by the accumulation of fluids between follicular epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth	Radiological and histopathologic evaluation	Odontogenic keratocyst, unicystic ameloblastoma, ameloblastic fibroma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor	Enucleation or marsupialization. In selected cases, the impacted tooth remains in situ
Odontogenic keratocyst	Typically localized in the posterior mandible, it is considered to be an odontogenic cyst that originates from dental lamina's residues	Radiological and histopathologic evaluation	DC, ameloblastoma	Surgical excision followed by osseous curettage and eventually chemical fixation with Carnoy's solution application
