Abstract

This article describes the clinical aspects and the histologic features of three cases of gingival cyst of the adult. The diagnostic problems of this rare entity are discussed. Radiographic examination to determine the presence of bone loss must be undertaken to differentiate the gingival cyst of the adult from the more frequent lateral periodontal cyst.
