Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
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...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

1.2K
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Bone Cells and Tissue01:30

Bone Cells and Tissue

7.8K
Bones contain a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of organic and inorganic components. Although bone cells compose only a small amount of the bone volume, they are crucial to its function. Four types of cells are found within the bone tissue— osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts and Osteocytes
The osteoblast is the bone cell responsible for forming new bone tissue. It is found in the growing portions of bone, including the...

Folliculogenesis01:20

Folliculogenesis

1.9K
Folliculogenesis is the development of ovarian follicles, the specialized structures within the ovarian cortex where oogenesis, or egg development, occurs. This process is essential for female reproductive health and begins during fetal development when primordial follicles are formed. Each primordial follicle comprises a primary oocyte in the center, surrounded by a single layer of squamous pre-granulosa cells. These follicles remain dormant in late prophase I of meiosis until triggered by...

Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

68.7K
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Urinary Tract Calculi I: Introduction01:28

Urinary Tract Calculi I: Introduction

364
Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are solid deposits of minerals and salts formed inside the kidneys. In medical terminology, "calculus" refers to the stone itself, while "lithiasis" describes the process of stone formation. Depending on their location within the urinary system, these stones may be classified as either urolithiasis, when situated within the urinary tract, or nephrolithiasis, when located within the kidneys. Each term signifies the specific impact of the stone.Predisposition...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pathology
  • Dentistry

Background:

  • Odontogenic cysts are epithelial-lined cavities in the jaw, originating from tooth-forming tissues.
  • These cysts can lead to significant bone destruction and displacement or resorption of adjacent teeth.
  • They have developmental or inflammatory origins and are more prevalent in adults than children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the nature, origins, and clinical significance of odontogenic cysts.
  • To highlight common types, diagnostic standards, and management strategies for these lesions.
  • To emphasize the importance of early detection and surgical referral.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on odontogenic cysts.
  • Discussion of common types such as periapical and dentigerous cysts.
  • Emphasis on histopathologic examination as the gold standard for diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Odontogenic cysts frequently occur in the maxilla and mandible.
  • Periapical and dentigerous cysts are commonly encountered in dental practice.
  • Surgical management includes enucleation or marsupialization.

Conclusions:

  • Early recognition and prompt referral to oral surgery are essential.
  • Minimizing jaw bone destruction depends on timely diagnosis and intervention.
  • Histopathology remains critical for definitive diagnosis and guiding treatment.
