To determine whether gingival cyst or gingival cancer needs to be judged from clinical symptoms, imaging and histopathology.
1. Clinical symptoms: cyst is a kind of benign tumor in stomatology, mostly caused by epithelial development residue or inflammation stimulation, usually with clear boundary. Gingival cancer has unknown etiological mechanism, and the border with neighboring tissues is not clear with infiltrative growth, which can cause tooth loosening, ulceration, lymph node enlargement and other symptoms.
2. X-ray of the cyst shows that the density of the local image is reduced, and gingival cancer will appear the destruction of the small base of the alveolar bone, and there may be the formation of dead bone.
3. Histopathological judgment: gingival cyst and gingival cancer can be judged from the degree of pathological cell differentiation through tissue examination.
Whether gingival cyst or gingival cancer, both of them need timely consultation and surgical resection.
