Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are common developmental odontogenic cysts found in the oral cavity. They are often discovered incidentally on dental X-rays or noticed as asymptomatic swellings. These cysts forms from reduced enamel epithelium that remains attached at the cementoenamel junction around the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. Although most dentigerous cysts are developmental, in young patients, they may also arise due to inflammation, often arising from decay in the primary teeth. Treatment options for dentigerous cysts range from marsupialization to complete removal, depending on the effect of the cyst on surrounding structures. The loss of a permanent tooth during the treatment of a dentigerous cyst can significantly impact a child's oral development. This article discusses 2 cases of primary teeth associated with cysts and their different treatment options.
