| Abstract: | BackgroundThe dentigerous cyst is usually defined as a cystic cavity that surrounds the crown of an unerupted tooth on the cementoenamel junction. The present article reports a case of an uncommon dentigerous cyst, highlighting its clinical, radiographic and surgical characteristics and discussing the aspects related to its development in infancy.Case reportA 03-year-old boy patient presented with an extensive radiolucid area involving the crown of the right maxillary lateral incisor. A surgical excision was performed. Anatomopathological examination revealed a cystic tissue with a fibrous wall surrounded by nonkeratinized stratified squamous oral epithelium, without atypia.ConclusionIt is possible that the dentigerous cyst grows in the dental germ in any stage of development and not only in the follicle of a tooth with calcified crown attached to the cementoenamel junction. |
