This document provides a classification and overview of odontogenic cysts. It discusses key cysts such as the radicular cyst, dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, and calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst. Radicular cysts are the most common inflammatory cysts and arise from epithelial residues in the periodontal ligament around non-vital teeth.

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic cysts often present as pericoronal radiolucencies and may contain flecks
