Oral and maxillofacial cysts refer to a group of diseases characterized by the presence of non-purulent pathological masses (cysts) in the oral and maxillofacial regions. As the disease progresses, cysts can also become purulent masses due to secondary infection. Cysts grow slowly, and patients often have no subjective symptoms. The main treatment method is surgical removal. Due to the diverse classification of oral and maxillofacial cysts, there are currently no definitive and unified epidemiological data. The incidence of cysts is low in infancy and gradually increases with age, with a high incidence in school-age children.
