Abstract：Jaw cystic lesions present complex challenges involving both teeth and the jawbone,predominantly encom-passing jaw cysts and cystic tumors.Jaw cystic lesions often involve healthy teeth in the dentition,and the management of teeth associated with these conditions remains a subject of de-bate.Particularly,when teeth protrude into the cystic cavity of such lesions,especially if they maintain functional pulp,there are no universally accepted guidelines on whether to preserve the tooth or pulp.This review provides a comprehensive dis-cussion on the etiology,diagnosis,and treatment of jaw cystic lesions.Regarding teeth involved in cysts,a treatment philoso-phy prioritizing"life＞bone＞tooth＞pulp"is suggested,em-phasizing the preservation of teeth with functional require-ments to uphold overall oral health.Specific clinical manage-ment should be individualized based on the different patholog-ical types of jaw cystic lesions.
