Abstract
Maxillary cystic lesions can be distinguished as odontogenic or non-odontogenic. Radicular cysts are the only acquired odontogenic cysts which are mainly caused by a preexisting apical granuloma. Non-odontogenic cysts always have a dysontogenetic origin. Odontogenic tumours are generally constituted by benign or mildly aggressive entities, even if they often tend towards local relapse. These neoformations are presented together with the cystic lesions, as the odontogenic tumours show considerable overlaps with the more common cystic formations, both on clinical and radiological levels.
