El proceso biológico de la odontogénesis es complejo, en ella participan mecanismos moleculares y celulares orientados a formar las estructuras dentarias, la alteración de estos mecanismos pueden originar los quistes dentígeros o foliculares. Estas patologías son cavidades anormales recubiertas por epitelio y con contenido líquido o semilíquido, rodeados generalmente de una capa de tejido conectivo; siempre asociados a la corona de dientes incluidos, son asintomáticos y de evolución lenta, descubiertas radiográficamente como una imagen unilocular y radiolúcidos, los de gran tamaño son infrecuentes, el tratamiento consiste en remoción quirúrgica completa.

The health services system in Peru is fragmented and segmented, in this new century a coordinated and cooperative attitude is required among health professionals. Lip alveolus-palatine malformations are the most frequent congenital anomalies on the bucomaxillofacial region, affecting the growth and development of orofacial structures of two-thirds of the face, altering innate oral reflexes such as biting, sucking, swallowing and the capacity on the cavity buccal to allow pressure build-up. Adequate performance in health service is achieved with a shared vision and posture among the members of the work team, added to effective management, for which interprofessional collaborative practice requires paradigm changes, in which evidence is demonstrated substantial and irrefutable of a team culture and a reliable interdisciplinary environment, recognizing shared responsibility for results.
