Multiple Dentigerous Cysts in a Child: A Case Report and Radiographic Follow-up
Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe a case of dentigerous cysts of a young patient successfully
treated as well as clinical and radiographic follow-up. A 10-year-old female patient was referred to the Buccomaxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology Service of the Regional University Hospital of Campos Gerais. The patient’s panoramic radiograph revealed a well-defined radiolucent unilocular area associated to the crown of the second permanent right lower molar, which was impacted. In addition, the permanent upper canines were enclosed, suggesting a dentigerous cyst. A conservative treatment was determined, through marsupialization of the lesions. The histopathology examination confirmed the clinical diagnosis of dentigerous cysts. Longitudinal clinical and radiographic monitoring was essential to certify the regression of the lesion, as well as bone neoformation, thus promoting the eruption and maintenance of the affected permanent teeth.
