LV. Nontumorous Cysts of the Maxilla: Interesting Cases and Discussions

We are reporting seven cases of maxillary cysts of dental origin. Six of these encroached upon the antrum. One was complicated by an osteoma, and, in one case, impacted teeth were present within the cyst. Supernumerary teeth were present in two others. Some of the cysts were of large size. Three were bilateral. In two cases the cyst became manifest after extraction of teeth, and two were associated with carious teeth. The other three were of follicular origin.
