Median alveolar cyst

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The median alveolar cyst is a rare cyst, occurring in the bony alveolus between the maxillary central incisors. It is distinguished from a periapical cyst by the fact that adjacent teeth are vital.

Treatment[edit]

Treatment is by enucleation, or surgical removal.
