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.
