Investigative Pathology of Odontogenic Cysts presents a unique and succinct review of the pathology of odontogenic cysts. The book emphasizes investigative pathology of odontogenic cysts and uses numerous illustrations and tables to reinforce and summarize discussions presented in the text. The book's most important aspect is its attempt to bring together new information regarding odontogenesis and the pathogenesis of odontogenic cysts. Oral biologists and pathologists working with dental tissues will find this book an important reference resource.

For readers familiar with the clinical and radiological features of odontogenic cysts, twelve independent chapters report the advances in the pathological aspects during the past two decades. Topics include the classification, structure, pathogenesis, animal models, glycoconjugates, odontogenic epithelium and its residues, cyst fluids, bone resorption, the histochemistry and ultrastructure of cholesterol in cyst walls, keratocysts in syndrome and non-syndrome patients, hyaline and foreign bodies in cyst walls, and basal cell nevus syndrome.
