Abstract
Cyst fluids are composed of electrolytes, proteins, lipids and viscous components. These substances affect the state of jaw cysts. Jaw cysts whose inner wall layer is ciliated epithelium contain high-viscosity fluids. This study comprised 30 cases of the following types of jaw cysts: nasopalatine, mucosal and ciliated cysts of the maxilla. And the author chiefly investigated ciliated cysts of the maxilla. Their fluid contents were extracted and pre-treated for analysis. It was concluded that hyaluronidase in cyst fluids causes cyst walls to decompose hyaluronic acid in the cellular interstitium of cyst walls or in the basement membrane of the cellular layer and convert it into cyst fluid, hence it is confirmed that the main component of viscous cyst fluid is hyaluronic acid.
