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.
