Abstract
Introduction: lesions of odontogenic origin such as cysts with benign characteristics can cause great facial destruction and deformities. Cysts" become a type of benign affectation, forming either lumps or a pathological cavity with liquid or semi-liquid content and covered by epithelium on the inside and by connective tissue on the outside. Objective: to describe the characteristics and how dental cysts manifest themselves. Methods: a literature review was performed, through an electronic search in the main databases (PubMed, Taylor & Francis, Scopus and ScienceDirect). Articles published between 2016 and 2022 were included. Results: The characteristics of cysts were identified that present asymptomatically and slow growth can cause dental migration and alteration of adjacent roots. There are different types, but the most common were odontogenic and dentigerous cysts. Conclusions: It is concluded that there are different characteristics of dental cysts due to the increase in volume and location of the cyst, these present themselves asymptomatically and cause facial inflammation with asymmetry, depending on their manifestations, clinic, radiography. Different types of odontogenic cysts can be found (radicular cyst and collateral inflammatory cyst) and non-odontogenic (nasopalatine duct cyst)
