  Cystic jaw lesions tend to grow very slowly and in many patients, they are asymptomatic (i.e. they do not cause any noticeable symptoms). Due to this nature, they are mostly found incidentally when radiographic imaging is conducted for another unrelated dental or head and neck pathology. However, if the cysts become infected then they may evolve into painful entities. […] Abnormal jaw masses (Tumors) are often slow growing and painless. They result in gradual destruction of the bone and expansion and weakening of your jaw. Over time the mass can displace or loosen your teeth, resulting in changes to your bite. Other jaw masses are fast growing and can result in pain and swelling. The nerves in your jaw can be compressed resulting in numbness to your lips, gums, or teeth. […] Facial and jaw cysts and tumors often do not have any symptoms. Your doctor or dentist may discover them during regular check-ups or x-rays.

  Dentigerous cysts are a common type of odontogenic cysts. An odontogenic cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the jaw bone over a tooth that hasn’t erupted yet. The cysts, in most cases, affect the molars or canines, and they’re second in prevalence after periapical cysts. These are cystic lesions that result from an infection in a tooth. […] Although dentigerous cysts are mild, they can lead to severe complications if left untreated. […] Symptoms of dentigerous cysts include: Tooth sensitivity, Swelling, Tooth displacement, A small bump where a tooth is supposed to erupt, Gaps between displaced teeth. […] Smaller dentigerous cysts may not show any signs, but you’ll notice the above-mentioned symptoms when they’re more than 2 centimeters in diameter. […] Even with a small dentigerous cyst, having it removed can prevent future complications. Leaving it untreated can lead to: Infections: An infected dentigerous cyst can lead to periodontal and periapical infections. Tooth loss: Untreated dentigerous cyst causes distress on the gum tissue, weakening it and causing it to lose its ability to hold a tooth in place. Some cysts are associated with dead or dying teeth. Jaw fracture: When the jaw bone becomes weakened from a cyst infection, it can develop a fracture. The risk is high when the cyst is in the premolar region. Ameloblastoma or jaw tumor: These are rare tumors that mainly affect the jaw near the molars or wisdom teeth. They arise from cells that form the enamel. If left untreated, the swelling becomes cancerous and may spread to the lungs or lymph nodes.

• #21 The clinicopathological features and treatments of odontogenic keratocysts

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9360231/

  If OKC is adjacent to the teeth, it can cause the adjacent teeth to be compressed, resulting in the teeth to shift, loosen, or tilt. Thus, OKC can be accompanied by tooth loss clinically. […] If the tumor has secondary infection, it can cause symptoms including swelling, pain, fever, and general discomfort. Importantly, if swelling also happens in other body parts, the patients medical history should be examined in detail to prevent from missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. […] One of the unfavorable features of OKC is its high recurrence rate after treatment, which happens in about 25-60% of OKC patients. The cause for this high recurrence rate in OKC is complex. One is due to the aggressive biological nature of OKC, which is prone to recurrence. In addition, since the capsule wall is thin and easy to break, it is difficult to remove OKC lesion completely, and the remaining epithelium of the capsule wall has high proliferative ability, which leads to recrudescence.

  The inferior alveolar nerve runs through the mandible and supplies sensation to the lower lip and chin. As most cysts expand slowly, there will be no altered sensation (anesthesia or paraesthesia), since the inferior alveolar canal is harmlessly enveloped or displaced over time. More aggressive cysts, or acute infection of any cyst may cause altered sensation. Sometimes, they cause higher risk of pathological fracture of lower jaw, especially around angle of mandible. […] The prognosis depends upon the type, size and location of a cyst. Most cysts are entirely benign, and some may require no treatment. Rarely, some cystic lesions represent locally aggressive tumors that may cause destruction of surrounding bone if left untreated. This type of cyst are usually removed with a margin of healthy bone to prevent recurrence of new cysts. If a cyst expands to a very large size, the mandible may be weakened such that a pathologic fracture occurs.
