hi, I am a dentist and the question is: has anyone met a cyst-like formation in the lower jaw, containing smegma-like substance? patient is asympomatic female, 61 y old. x-ray findings: only creastal bridge of bone between canine and premolar (roof of leason) extending to the apex of canine and almost no bone buccaly and lingually and towards the roots of both teeth. teeth look alright, roots are not pushed, and there is normal nerve sensitivity. Thank you for your time to helping me do the right thing. Vassilis, Greece.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The description of lesion looks like it is odontogenic keratocyst. Get a cone beam computed tomography done and biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis. If it a odontogenic keratocyst get the cyst removed by surgical enucleation.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
