[Review of pseudocysts and bone lacunae of the jaws]
1Faculté de Médecine de l'Université de Louvain, Unité de Chirurgie Maxillo-Faciale, Bruxelles, Belgique.
Abstract:
Non-odontogenic cystic lesions and so-called "pseudocystic" lesions of the jaws are reviewed, summarizing most recent data from the literature and with illustrations. Pseudocyst lesions include the aneurysmal bone cyst, the solitary bone cyst and Stafne's lacunae. Non-odontogenic cystic lesions, characterized by the presence of a non-odontogenic epithelial lining, are represented by the nasopalatin cyst, the nasoalveolar cyst and an entity currently covering globulomaxillary, midline palatin, midline mandibular and midline alveolar cysts.

Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Spongy Bone
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
