Abstract

Introduction: A dentigerous cyst is a developmental cyst of odontogenic origin, which apparently develops by accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown of an unerupted tooth, with consequent expansion of tooth follicle. It may be associated with crown of unerupted teeth, odontomas, or supernumerary teeth. Ninety-five percent of dentigerous cysts are associated with permanent dentition whereas only 5% are with supernumerary teeth.
