Abstract
21 lesions, clinically and radiographically diagnosed as lateral periodontal cysts (LPC), were retrospectively studied. The majority of the lesions were symptomless and were located in the premolar-canine-incisor region and predominantly in the mandible. 15 cases had the typical lining consistent with the diagnosis LPC. Three lesions were odontogenic keratocysts and 3 were inflammatory cysts. It was concluded that cysts in a lateral periodontal position are usually LPC but the diagnoses of keratocyst and inflammatory cyst must be considered.
