Oral Surgery Study Day: Benign Odontogenic Cysts and Tumours of the Jaw (OS200625)

GDC Development Outcomes:

. A: Effective diagnosis and communication.

. B: Application of pathology knowledge to treatment planning.

. C: Clinical decision-making based on diagnosis.

. D: Evidence-based learning and development.

Recommended to all

Aims:

. Deepen understanding of embryologic origin and histopathology of odontogenic cysts and tumours.

.  Support accurate recognition, diagnosis, and surgical decision-making.

Objectives:

· To consolidate knowledge of odontogenesis and the histological origin of dental tissues relevant to pathology.

· To examine the biological behaviour, clinical presentation, and radiographic features of benign odontogenic cysts and tumours.

· To review current WHO classifications and pathological criteria for accurate diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

· To correlate histopathological features with embryological origin to support surgical decision-making and treatment planning

Learning Outcomes:

· Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the developmental origins of odontogenic tissues and their relevance to pathology.

· Identify and classify benign odontogenic cysts and tumours based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings.

· Differentiate between key cystic and neoplastic lesions using diagnostic criteria informed by tissue origin and behaviour.

· Apply pathological knowledge to inform surgical treatment planning and management strategies
