Scanning electron microscopic study of odontogenic keratocysts. 1984

B T Hwang, and K Sugihara, and S Yamashita

Three odontogenic keratocysts were examined with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) on their surface cells, prickle cells, basal cells, and the epithelial-connective tissue interface. The microridges of the surface cells had a short, discontinuous, branched or beaded appearance. Intracellularly, the flattened keratinized cells formed a network consisting of delicate microfilaments. The prickle cells had numerous cytoplasmic projections and a large round nucleus that occupied most of the cytoplasm. The basal cells had two types of cytoplasmic process and a large oval polarized nucleus. The epithelium and the lamina propria were connected by a fibrous and fibrillar network.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D009807 Odontogenic Cysts Cysts found in the jaws and arising from epithelium involved in tooth formation. They include follicular cysts (e.g., primordial cyst, dentigerous cyst, multilocular cyst), lateral periodontal cysts, and radicular cysts. They may become keratinized (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation. Keratocysts,Cyst, Odontogenic,Cysts, Odontogenic,Keratocyst,Odontogenic Cyst
