Oral Pathology & Microbiology — Key differences for NEET MDS
Parakeratinized epithelium NOT ortho. Satellite cysts cause high recurrence. Gorlin syndrome = multiple OKCs + bifid ribs + calcified falx cerebri. Daughter cysts in wall. Basal cell layer is palisaded. 6-8 cell layer thick epithelium. Corrugated parakeratin surface. High recurrence after curettage. Carnoys solution reduces recurrence. Most aggressive odontogenic cyst.

Fusion = 2 teeth join = reduced count. Dilaceration = bend in root. Supernumerary = mesiodens most common. Concrescence = cemental fusion. Ankylosis = no PDL.
