What is the probable cause of a primordial cyst?
Cystic degeneration of the dental papilla
Inflammation of the dental follicle
Cystic degeneration of the stellate reticulum
Infection within the enamel organ
The correct answer is: Cystic degeneration of the stellate reticulum
A Cystic degeneration of the dental papilla is incorrect because primordial cysts develop from primordial dental tissues and structures, not from the surrounding dental papilla. B: Inflammation of the dental follicle is incorrect because primordial cysts are not caused by inflammation, but rather by developmental defects. D: Infection within the enamel organ is incorrect because primordial cysts are not caused by infections. They are developmental cysts that arise from embryonic tissues.
