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.
早在1948年美国口腔病理学会（AAOP）成立之前，人们就已经认识到颌骨的囊性病变，但正是在这个时期左右，它们才得到研究、特征描述和分类。口腔病理学家为研究上颌骨囊性病变而实施的分类系统的历史，与口腔颌面病理学作为牙科学的一个专业的诞生密切相关。本文的目的是回顾为颌骨囊性病变提出的早期分类系统。
