• Ameloblastoma. This is a relatively common, slow-growing, usually noncancerous (benign) tumor. It develops most often in the jaw near the molars and can invade local structures such as bone and soft tissue. This tumor can recur after treatment; however, aggressive surgical treatments will typically reduce the chance of recurrence.
• Dentigerous cyst. This cyst originates from tissue that surrounds a tooth before it erupts into the mouth. This is the most common form of cyst that affects the jaws. Most often these cysts will occur around wisdom teeth that are not fully erupted, but they can also involve other teeth.
• Odontogenic keratocyst. Also referred to as keratocystic odontogenic tumor because of its tumor like tendency to recur after surgical treatment, this slow-growing, benign cyst can be destructive to local structures. Most often the cyst develops in the lower jaw near the third molars. These cysts may also be found in people with an inherited condition called nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.

There are even more types of cysts and tumors of the jaws, which in a given situation would require surgical management. Discussed above are the most commonly seen types.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation pertains to the restoration and maintenance of oral function, appearance, comfort and dental health of the patient by the restoration of a natural tooth and/or the replacement of missing teeth and contiguous oral and maxillofacial tissues with artificial substitutes. This Treatment is usually advised for the patients with multiple problems like missing teeth, loss of vertical height (loss of tooth structure on the biting surface), decay etc. Proper dental care is given to almost every tooth and is taken care of and a balanced, functionally comfortable and aesthetically dentition is achieved. The patients who need this treatment are mostly 45 years and above.
