Abstract

Introduction: Dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst lesion surrounding the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth in the jaw. Objective: The aim of this case report is to describe the treatment planning and follow-up of a dentigerous cyst associated with the impaction of the permanent mandibular right canine tooth in an 11-year-old female. Case report: Radiographic assessment revealed a radiolucent unilocular round-shaped lesion localized in the mandibular symphysis. Enucleation was performed and the affected tooth was removed under general anesthesia. The patient is under follow-up due to orthodontic treatment. The affected area healed without complications. Conclusion: Two and a half years after the enucleation, the cyst had totally disappeared, and no recurrences were observed. Bone remodeling and neoformation were noticed.
