For tumor-like formations are jaw cysts, osteodysplasia and osteodystrophy.

Jaw cysts include:

- odontogenic:

•         radicular;

•         follicular;

•         paradental;

•         epidermoid;

- non-odontogenic (fissural):

•         naso-palatinal (of incisive canal);

•         globule-maxillary;

•         naso-alveolar.

Cysts of the jaws have different origin, grow slowly and painlessly, causing atrophy of the surrounding bone. Sometimes can be a random finding on radiography jaws. Cysts can reach large sizes, causing deformation of the face. Upper jaw cysts can grow into the maxillary sinus and the lower nasal passage. Each cyst has its clinical features and surgery treatment. All cysts may suppurate.

Osteodysplasia - is a congenital malformation of the bone. Has different symptoms.

Osteodysplasia include: fibrous osteodysplasia; deforming ostosis (Paget's disease); cherubism; Albright's disease; Franceschetti-Tsvalen syndrome; Peters-Hevels syndrome; Crouzon syndrome, and others.

Osteodystrophy - a pathological process characterized by functional and structural changes of several sections of the skeleton, caused by the impairment of the trophic bone. By reason of it is toxic, nutritional, endocrine, angioneyrotrophical.

Benign tumors of the jaw, depending on the origin are divided into:

•         Odontogenic:

•       odontoma;

•       cementoma;

•       ameloblastoma (adamantinoma).

•         Osteogenic:

•       osteoma;

•       osteoid-osteoma;

•       osteoblastoma;

•       ossificans fibroma;

•       chondroma;

•       osteochondroma.

•         Connective tissue (fibroma).

•         Vascular (hemangioma), and others.

Clinical manifestations of benign tumors varied. Most often, they grow slowly and painlessly, causing deformation of the jaw. Many of them can become inflamed and / or malignant.
