The maxillofacial region is affected by a greater number of cysts than any other part of the body. The present study (A descriptive case series) is about the clinical, features i.e. age, sex and site distribution and radiological features of dentigerous cyst performed on 47 biopsy proved cases over a period of two years. This cystic lesion is common in males (60%) as compared to females (40%). ...

Odontogenic cysts have a high prevalence in the dental clinic population, with dentigerous cyst being one of the most frequent ones and whose aetiology involves accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. In the diagnostic process of these lesions, one should consider complementary imaging exams such as conventional radiography and computed t...

Dentigerous cyst is the most frequently encountered odontogenic cyst which is epithelial lined and is developmental in origin. It usually affects young males below 30 years of age. Thus, its early diagnosis and treatment with rehabilitation becomes very important. Here a series of three cases with rare involvement of impacted maxillary lateral incisor, maxillary premolar and mandibular canine i...

Actinomyces-associated lesions in the jaw, such as radicular cyst and osteomyelitis, have been reported by many authors. The lesions are caused by infection from peripheral sites and can be seen to contain Actinomyces druses on pathologic examination. To our knowledge, no previous reports have described Actinomyces-associated calcification in the jaw, although the lesions in the jaw often inclu...

Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic jaw cysts, commonly manifesting in the second and third decades of life. Very few of these cysts have been reported in children younger than 10 years of age. This article describes a rare case of dentigerous cyst in a 1-year-old boy, the youngest case to be documented. The clinical, radiographic and histopathologic features are discussed; the incr...

A residual cyst, as the name implies, is a radicular, lateral periodotal, dentigerous or any other cyst that has persisted after it's associated tooth has been lost. Residual cysts show more predilection in males and they commonly affect the maxillary region. Usually, residual cysts are asymptomatic and calcifications occurring in the residual cysts are quite rare. We are reporting a case of sy...

Odontogenic cysts, which showed cystic radiolucency in the jaw bone by radiographic examination and computed tomography, were enucleated by operation in 3 dogs. One dog had a odontogenic keratocyst in the incisive bone of the right maxilla and another 2 cases revealed dentigerous cysts in the mandible. These cyst walls were enucleated or transpired by semiconductor laser. Afterwards, osteogenes...

The orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a rare developmental jaw cyst. Recognition of OOC as a unique entity has long been due, yet its inexplicable radiographic presentation resembling dentigerous cyst, histological likeness to odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and inconsistent cytokeratin expression profiles overlapping with both as well as with the epidermis, makes it rather confounding. D...

Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are related to the crowns of permanent teeth. The lesion in this study was detected in a routine panoramic radiograph that revealed a well-defined osteolytic lesion that measured 2.5 cm in diameter, with the crown of the mandibular permanent second premolar displaced to the lower border of the mandible. The apex of the tooth was still open. Th...

Dentigerous cysts, commonly encountered in the practice of dentistry, are benign odontogenic cysts associated with crowns of unerupted and/or impacted permanent teeth. They frequently occur during the second and third decades of life. Treat-ment modalities range from enucleation to marsupialization, which may be influenced by the age of the patient, severity of impaction, and root form of assoc...
