Jaw Cysts

Saccular lesions lined with epithelium and contained within pathologically formed cavities in the jaw; also nonepithelial cysts (pseudocysts) as they apply to the jaw, e.g., traumatic or solitary cyst, static bone cavity, and aneurysmal bone cyst. True jaw cysts are classified as odontogenic or nonodontogenic.

"
6.	Tryptases (Tryptase)IBA 08/01/1996 - "In this study the role of mast cells (MC), and mast cell tryptase in particular, was evaluated in the pathophysiology of bone resorption and jaw cyst formation in different types of cysts. " 08/01/1996 - "Based on previous findings addressing the role of mast cell tryptase in proteolytic cascades, and the known association of MC with osteoporosis, we suggest that mast cells and mast cell tryptase may contribute significantly to jaw cyst tissue remodelling during growth of a cyst, and to the destruction of the surrounding bone, resulting in jaw cyst expansion." 08/01/1996 - "The amount of tryptase was further studied by Western-blotting and measurement of trypsin-like activity from the neutral salt extracts obtained from different types of jaw cysts. "
