DENTIGEROUS CYST IN THE POSTERIOR REGION OF THE MANDIBLE: CLINICAL CASE

Abstract

Male patient, leukoderma, came to the office forwarded by the orthodontist, with a history of radiographic finding in the mandibular region. In accordance with the image of the panoramic radiography, was displayed a radiolucent lesion, with well-defined limits, involving the crown of a tooth included (38), in the region of branch and left mandibular angle. Cone beam computed tomography revealed an extensive radiolucid area. We planned and performed enucleation fibrosis associated with excisional biopsy. We removed the tooth 38 associated with an huge pericoronary hood and the excision of the cyst. In the postoperative period was not observed any signs of inflation or infection. The piece was sent for anatomopathological examination, returning with a diagnosis of dentigerous cyst. The patient finds themselves in postoperative monitoring of 2 years without signs of recurrence exposed by panoramic radiography of control.
