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.

Pemphigus vulgaris most common type. Direct immunofluorescence diagnostic. Pemphigoid has tense blisters. Pemphigus has flaccid blisters. Desmoglein 3 antibodies = Pemphigus vulgaris.
