Cysts of the jaw present as swellings of jaws and midface. Of the different varieties, the dentigerous cyst is the most common type of noninflammatory odontogenic cyst and the frequent cause of a lytic lesion associated with an impacted tooth. The cyst develops from epithelial remnants of the tooth forming organ. The obstruction of venous flow due to compression of tooth follicle by developing ...

Dentigerous cysts are frequently found in the maxilla. After radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts are those most commonly diagnosed, accounting for 20% of all jaw cysts. They are often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during routine examinations. Clinical complications such as dental displacement, ectopic eruption, dental impaction, adjacent tooth root resorption, cortical expansion with f...

Dentigerous cysts are the most common odontogenic cysts of the jaws. The dentigerous cyst arise from around the crown of impacted, embedded, or unerupted teeth. Most often they involve mandibular third molars followed by maxillary canines, maxillary third molars.The main reason of dentigerous cyst is unknown but it rarely occurs around a supernumerary tooth. Only 5% of dentigerous cysts involve...

Cyst is defined as a pathological cavity which may or not be lined by an epithelium and usually filled with solid, semisolid gaseous material. Dentigerous cyst of odontogenic origin associated impacted tooth. in maxillary antrum often misdiagnosed peripheral health care centers due to initial complaints mimicking sinusitis patients reporting general physicians/otolaryngologist for treatment. Th...

A dentigerous cyst encloses a crown of an unerupted tooth by its follicle and is attached to the neck of the tooth. They may be of developmental or inflammatory origin. Dentigerous cyst of inflammatory origin occurs in immature tooth as a result of inflammation from preceding non-vital deciduous tooth or from other source spreading to involve the tooth follicle. These are diagnosed in the first...

introdouction: dentigerous cyst is a benign developmental lesion of the jaw. it is most commonly occurs during the second and third decades of life and has rarely been reported in association with a deciduous tooth. we report a case of two-year old girl who presented with an unerupted central incisor. according to the radiographic findings, she was diagnosed with a dentigerous cyst and underwen...

Dentigerous cysts develop from unerupted and impacted permanent teeth. Very rarely, supernumerary teeth are associated with dentigerous cysts and constitute about 5-6% of all dentigerous cysts. Although these cysts are not common in the first decade of life, regular thorough inspection of radiographs is of importance, as indicated by this case report. This case shows how an impacted supernumera...

Dentigerous cyst is a benign odontogenic cyst associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. It is usually single in occurrence and located in the mandible of middle-aged persons. The teeth commonly affected are in order of frequency, the mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary third molars and, rarely central incisors. The present case report describes the surgical enucleation of...

background and aims. pathological fractures are rare in the maxillofacial region and account for less than 2% of all frac-tures in this site. they are defined as fractures that take place when bone has been weakened by an underlying pathologic process. among all pathoses, cysts (although so common in the maxillofacial region) constitute a very small part. here we report a case of a dentigerous ...
