Answers to Module 7 Questions

 * Describe your media: the media is a bar chart that summarises the rate of occurrence of the cyst on certain jaw regions i.e. mandible, maxilla. Represented statistics is extrapolated from the following credible literature source: Shear, M., & Speight, P. (2008). Glandular Odontogenic Cyst (Sialo‐Odontogenic Cyst). In Cysts of the Oral and Maxillofacial Regions (pp. 94–99). Blackwell Munksgaard. https://doi.org/10.1002/9780470759769.ch7
 * Own work: this graphical summary would be considered as my own as it is a derivative work where i have sourced the necessary values from a past literature and created a complementary graph to the article
 * File format: this would be an image capture of the graph created on excel
 * Choosing a license: public domain license
 * Category: odontogenic cyst, dentistry
 * Description: a bar chart that represents the rate of occurrence of the cyst at the upper and lower jaw of patients
 * Description of file: png file extracted from screen shot of graph from personal document

Signs and symptoms (addition of paragraph to stub)
Glandular odontogenic cyst has many shared signs and symptoms. However, the appearance of certain characteristics is unique to each cystic event.

The glandular odontogenic cyst can develop in the mandible or maxilla at the anterior or posterior site. The cyst has an aggressive growth pattern and can reach a width of approximately 4.9 cm. Initiation of growth can occur at the incisor or canine tooth and eventually settle at one of the molar teeth. Development of these cystic lesions has varied sensitivities with either a painful or painless expansion at the jaw. Primary complications show damages to the normal functioning of the cortical plate where thinning, erosion and perforation may arise. Secondary complications affect the performance of the patients’ tooth and root structure. Additionally, there can be an abnormal sensation at the infra-orbital region, which is the result of facial and nasal inflammation.

Practicing citations

 * Description of scientific procedures such as cytokeratin staining and molecular marker labelling reinforces the accuracy of the peer-reviewed study
 * The journal describes the range of cellular interactions that influences the highly aggressive and recurrent nature of the cyst
 * In comparison with other reputable publications, the information published consistently shares concepts and observations such as cortical plate and tooth disruption
 * The journal is published by Elsevier and written by members from the Department of Buccofacial Surgery and Medicine, Anatomy and Embryology II and Pathology
 * Moreover, the uncommon application of allogeneic bone filling and aggressive peripheral ostectomy is a noteworthy detail of the source and will serve as an interesting aspect to this summary
