Controversies In Management Of Dentigerous Cyst In Pediatric Population: A Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental odontogenic cysts of the jaw, arising from impacted, embedded or unerupted permanent teeth. They apparently develop by accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown of an unerupted tooth. There is usually no pain or discomfort associated with the cyst unless there is an acute inflammatory exacerbation. Most frequently seen in 20-30 years of life. Cases which have been reported within 10 years of life, in mixed dentition period are hardly few in number. Various treatment modalities have been mentioned in the literature for management of dentigerous cysts. Here, we present an interesting case report of dentigerous cyst in pediatric patients. Complete removal of the cyst along with attached tooth structure was done under general anesthesia. Careful evaluation of the patient with past medical history, clinical, radiographic and histopathological examination would help the clinician in early diagnosis to administer appropriate treatment.
