Abstract

LORETO CASTELLON ZIRPEL, M; MONTINI SANTORI, Claudia; URIBE FENNER, Francisca  and  FARINA SIRANDONI, Rodrigo. Quiste Folicular Inflamatorio: Revisión Bibliográfica y Reporte de Tres Casos Clínicos. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2009, vol.47, n.4, pp.303-316. ISSN 0001-6365.

The follicular cyst was classified by the OMS in 1992 as an inflammatory cyst. The prevalence is poor and may be encountered in patients between 5 and 12 years old. There is a male predilection and a higher prevalence in the mandibular premolars The pathogenesis is a result of the progression from a periapical inflammation from an overlying primary tooth that has been pulpotomized to the premolar follicle. The treatment for the follicular cyst varies from the extraction of the primary tooth to enucleation of the cyst. The selection of the treatment depends on the age of the patient, extension of the cyst, the compromise of the adjacent structures, location of the impacted tooth etc. Generally the prognosis is excellent. A review of the literature about the follicular cyst and three pediatric cases will be presented. The clinical and radiographic features, differential diagnosis and treatment will be discussed

Keywords : Follicular Cyst; Inflammatory Cyst.
