| 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 keratinised (odontogenic keratocysts). Follicular cysts may give rise to ameloblastomas and, in rare cases, undergo malignant transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |

| enterogenous cysts | Mediastinal cysts derived from cells sequestered from the primitive foregut; may be classified histologically as bronchogenic, oesophageal, or gastric. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foregut cysts | <radiology> Bronchogenic and enteric cysts: more common on the right, neurenteric cysts: associated with vertebral anomalies, enteric cysts: may contain acid-secreting gastric mucosa;, confirm with TcO4 scan (12 Dec 1998) |

| centric jaw relation | The most retruded physiologic relation of the mandible to the maxillae to and from which the individual can make lateral movements; it is a condition which can exist at various degrees of jaw separation, and it occurs around the terminal hinge axis, the most posterior relation of the mandible to the maxillae at the established vertical relation See: eccentric relation. Synonym: median retruded relation, median relation. (05 Mar 2000) |
