Pediatric jaw lesions
Jaw cysts and tumours in the pediatric population typically present as delayed eruption or tooth displacement associated with jaw swelling. Each lesion may show a predilection for an age group within the pediatric range, so that the jaw lesions may be classified in relation to the timetable of dental development. Most lesions are small, with limited growth potential, and are treated with conservative excision to allow eruption. Other lesions may show locally aggressive growth and require careful management to balance the needs for controlling the lesion while maintaining normal growth and development

Learning Objectives
• Classify jaw lesions in pediatric patients in relation to the timetable of dental development
• Use clinical-radiographic-pathologic correlation to achieve accurate diagnosis
• Optimize management to support normal growth and development Keywords
