• Resumen

  • Cystic conditions of the jawbones were recognized long before the establishment of the American Academy of Oral Pathology (AAOP) in 1948, but it was around this time when they were studied, characterized, and classified. The history of the classification systems implemented by oral pathologists to study the cystic conditions of the maxillary bones is intimately related with the birth of oral and maxillofacial pathology as a specialty of dentistry. The purpose of this paper is to review the early classification systems proposed for the cystic conditions of the jawbones.
