A Huge Infected Dentigerous Cyst Occupying the Maxillary Sinus

A dentigerous cyst (DC) ranks as the second most common odontogenic cyst after a radicular cyst arising from the crowns of impacted, embedded, or unerupted teeth. DC frequently causes the corresponding tooth to be displaced into an ectopic location, such as the sinus cavity in the maxilla. Surgical treatment involves extracting the tooth and enucleating the cyst using a conservative intra-oral approach or endoscopic surgery. We report a rare case of a 25-year-old woman with maxillary third molars inside the maxillary sinus attached to a dentigerous cyst and treated with Caldwell Luc surgery through an intraoral approach.

The diagnostic challenges and two-step surgical approach to an infected dentigerous cyst resembling a unicystic ameloblastoma: A case report

Background: A dentigerous cyst is the second-most frequently observed odontogenic cyst, and an ameloblastoma is one of the most frequently observed odontogenic tumors. Both are mostly associated with an impacted mandibular third molar and have similar characteristics. Diagnostic difficulties often result in misdiagnosis and remain a challenge to overcome. Comprehensive clinical, radiographic, and histopathological views are essential to correctly diagnose the problem and formulate the most suitable treatment plan. Purpose: This case report aims to present a thorough approach to the diagnostic and surgical procedures involved in treating a dentigerous cyst that resembles an ameloblastoma by using marsupialization followed by enucleation. Case: This article presents the case report of a 27-year-old male patient with an infected dentigerous cyst resembling a unicystic ameloblastoma associated with a totally impacted lower mandibular left third molar. The patient had a history of swelling, pain, and pus drainage in the retromolar area. Symptoms subsided after antibiotic and analgesic prescriptions, but the lesion remained and was slowly progressing. The diagnostic approach began with a fine-needle aspiration biopsy, and the result confirmed a benign cystic lesion that was suspected to be an odontogenic tumor. Then an incisional biopsy was conducted under local anesthesia, diagnosing an infected dentigerous cyst. Case Management: Marsupialization and decompression using an obturator was preferred, followed by enucleation. Nine months later, a radiographic examination revealed satisfactory bone regeneration without recurrence. Conclusion: An incisional biopsy plays a vital role in establishing a definitive diagnosis. Marsupialization followed by enucleation offers an excellent combination of treatments achieving complete cyst removal, anatomical structure preservation, and bone regeneration with minimal complications.

Infected dentigerous cyst in maxillary antrum mimicking maxillary sinusitis

Cyst is defined as a pathological cavity which may or may not be lined by an epithelium and is usually filled with solid, semisolid or gaseous material. Dentigerous cyst is of odontogenic origin and is usually associated with an impacted tooth. Dentigerous cyst in maxillary antrum is often misdiagnosed in peripheral health care centers due to initial complaints mimicking maxillary sinusitis with patients reporting to general physicians/otolaryngologist for treatment. This article intends to report a case of infected dentigerous cyst initially managed as recurrent maxillary sinusitis in a peripheral rural health care center in high altitude region with limited health care facilities.

Infected dentigerous cyst on a totally impacted mesiodens

Dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst which originates through alterations of reduced enamel epithelium in an unerupted tooth or a developing tooth bud. These cysts rarely associate with supernumerary teeth. Supernumerary teeth accounts for 5% of all dentigerous cysts. The most common supernumerary teeth are mesiodens. The case study aimed to present a rare case of infected dentigerous cyst on a totally impacted mesiodens. This case report describes a rare case of infected dentigerous cyst associated with mesiodens in a 33 year old female who presented with a slow growing swelling in the palatal. Dentigerous cyst was treated with cyst enucleation with extraction of the mesiodens. Mesiodens should be diagnosed at the earliest possible time and its management should be conducted to prevent development of dentigerous cyst and damage to adjacent teeth and vital structures.

Infected Dentigerous Cyst of Maxillary Sinus Mimicking Intraoral Abscess in a Pediatric Patient: Management of Misdiagnosis and Inaccurate Treatment

The article presents the case of a 12-year-old male patient who was suffering from exacerbated (infected) dentigerous cyst of maxillary sinus, associated with impacted canine whose symptoms were deceptively similar to intraoral abscess. The first-aid treatment performed by general dental practitioner consisted of intraoral incision and resulted in oroantral fistula formation. Eventually, the patient's ailments were not resolved, and we had to deal with serious local complications and difficulties. The treatment was performed under general anesthesia in one-day surgery system and included enucleation of the lesion, excision, and closure of oroantral fistula. Dislocated canine was not removed, and its subsequent eruption was observed.

Dentigerous cyst in anterior maxilla- A case report

Dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst, which apparently develops by accumulation of fluid between reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown of an unerupted tooth. It is one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts associated with an erupted, developing or impacted tooth, particularly the mandibular 3rd molars,the other teeth that are commonly affected are maxillary canines and third molars. The present case report describes an infected dentigerous cyst associated with impacted permanant maxillary canine managed with enucleation and surgical removal of the tooth.

An infected case of small dentigerous cyst on intraoral radiograph and orthopantomography

Dentigerous cyst is the second most common odontogenic cyst, which affects the jaws. It accounts for 15% of all true cysts in the jaws. This cyst is mostly associated with the crown of unerupted teeth involving crown of impacted mandibular third molars followed by maxillary canine and maxillary third molars. Dentigerous cysts can occur at any age, but the greatest incidence is in the second to fourth decades of life. Dentigerous cysts have the potential for attaining large size and tend to absorb roots of involved teeth. Dentigerous cysts have the potential to develop odontogenic tumors such as ameloblastoma and malignancies such as oral squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The progressive nature of dentigerous cysts may show expansion and result in pathological fractures of jawbones. The early detection of this cyst decreases the severity of the disease. Here is a case report of an infected dentigerous cyst that was detected on intraoral radiograph and orthopantomography.

Infected Dentigerous Cyst in a 14-year-old Child Associated with Unerupted Third Molar: A Case Report

The dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst, accounting for 10% of all cysts of the jaws, being the vast majority of current odontogenic cyst. Its characteristic features are unilocular radiolucent lesion which encloses permanent tooth buds or, under certain circumstances, displaced tooth buds. This paper presents a case of an infected dentigerous cyst associated with right mandibular unerupted third molar in a pediatric patient with various clinical and radiographic characteristics. The treatment comprised of proper evaluation of the past medical history, clinical, radiographic, histological examinations that helped to administer appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan; followed by complete removal of the cyst along with the involved tooth structure under general anesthesia.

ACTINOMYCES-ASSOCIATED CALCIFICATIONS IN A MANDIBULAR DENTIGEROUS CYST THAT PRESENTED WITH INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE PARESTHESIA

<h3>Introduction</h3> Dentigerous cysts account for approximately 20% of all odontogenic cysts. The classical presentation is as a unilocular radiolucent lesion associated with an unerupted tooth. Typically asymptomatic, they are often an incidental finding of radiographic investigations. The objective of this case report is to highlight that infected dentigerous cysts may have an atypical presentation that may raise the clinical suspicion of a neoplastic process. <h3>Case Description</h3> This case report describes a rare and atypical presentation of a dentigerous cyst in the mandible that presented with pain and paresthesia of the lower lip. The radiological presentation of the lesion was also unusual, with the lesion manifesting as a well-defined radiolucency containing multiple radiopacities. Histology revealed an infected dentigerous cyst with <i>Actinomyces</i> colonies and dystrophic calcification. <h3>Discussion</h3> There are very few described cases of dentigerous cysts presenting with paresthesia and/or <i>Actinomyces</i>-associated calcification. Our literature review, however, suggests that <i>Actinomyces</i>-associated pathology is more common than one would expect. Although actinomycosis is typically described as an infection of soft tissues, <i>Actinomyces</i>-associated lesions can have a highly variable clinical presentation. This includes the ability to produce <i>Actinomyces</i>-associated calcifications, although this is rarely observed. <h3>Conclusions</h3> Infected dentigerous cysts containing <i>Actinomyces-</i>associated calcifications may need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of lesions presenting as a mixed radiopacity in the jaws. This case also draws attention to the fact that neurosensory disturbance, which is typically associated with malignant disease and injury to the neurovascular bundle, can be a presenting feature of benign entities such as dentigerous cysts.

Dentigerous cyst and Osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis: a diagnostic update

Dentigerous cyst infection is a rare condition that can lead to life-threatening situations. A situation unusual is the development of osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis from infection of this cyst, with only one possible case published in the literature. The purpose of this article is to relate a rare association of a dentigerous cyst with osteomyelitis and proliferative periostitis. An 11-year-old patient compared for dental care with infection from second molar pericoronitis, who reached the third molar germ and progressing to osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis, thatwas treated under general anesthesia. Histological exam of the tissues removed during the surgery revealed infected dentigerous cyst and osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis. After the surgery, the patient progressed satisfactorily with improvement of the clinical complaints. This condition, although rare, should be considered as a differential diagnosis of several stomatognathic system lesions.

A dentigerous cyst associated with a pulpectomised primary molar: case report

A pulpectomy is a routinely performed procedure in carious primary teeth. While adverse effects are not common, these can include a dentigerous cyst. A dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst that surrounds the crown of an unerupted tooth, and is caused by a fluid accumulation between the reduced enamel epithelium (REE) and the enamel surface. Residual periapical inflammation from an endodontically treated primary tooth may lead to the development of an inflammatory dentigerous cyst in the unerupted permanent successor. This case report illustrates an infected dentigerous cyst in a seven-and-a-half-year-old female child related to the mandibular left second primary molar, which had been pulpectomised two years earlier. In general, the incidence of dentigerous cysts associated with pulpectomised primary teeth is extremely low. While there is no single factor that can be attributed to cystic transformation, it is prudent that teeth receiving pulp therapy should be observed periodically, and radiographs should be taken at regular intervals.

Infected dentigerous cyst in the maxilla: Report of two cases

Dentigerous cyst (tooth-bearing), is the second-most common odontogenic cyst in the Indian population. They remain asymptomatic, causing pain and swelling only when infected. Many a times they are diagnosed only on routine radiography. This article presents two cases of infected dentigerous cyst in the maxilla, one of them being a rare occurrence of the cyst involving the maxillary sinus around the maxillary third molar.

Dental Cyst Occupying the Branch Region and Mandibular Body with Displacement from the Third Molar to the Condition Region

The dentigerous cyst is the second most frequent odontogenic cyst after the root, being typically asymptomatic and commonly incidentally diagnosed. The objective of this case was to describe a successful treatment of a dentigerous cyst associated with an unerupted lower third molar, which extended from the condyle to the premolar region, treated by decompression followed by surgical enucleation. That said, a 19-year-old female patient, black, without underlying pathologies, came to the dental office for extraction of the third molars, and after a preoperative orthopantomographic radiography, the displacement of the dental element was noted 38 for the condylar region, unilocular cystic lesion occupying the branch and mandibular body region, root resorption of the dental elements involved in the region and rejection of the mandibular canal. After cytopathological analysis of the material collected through fine needle aspiration, the diagnosis of infected dentigerous cyst was confirmed. Afterwards, extraction and decompression were performed followed by surgical enucleation. Thus, it is concluded that the treatment performed promoted a satisfactory result, given a spontaneous bone neoformation after decompression and surgical enucleation of the lesion.

Infected dentigerous cyst due to traumatic injury in impacted of mandible canine: a case report

Histological examination and medical history should be placed before the treatment procedureKeywords: Dentigerous Cyst, Enucleation, Infection.

Infected dentigerous cyst associated with a horizontal impacted ectopic supernumerary tooth induced by trauma to the maxillary incisors: A rare case report

Dentigerous cyst is known to be caused by the accumulation of fluid between the epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. Its size increases by the expansion of the follicle, and it is attached to the neck of the tooth. These cysts are often associated with impacted third molars and maxillary canines and rarely with supernumerary teeth. In the present paper, we report a case of a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted ectopic supernumerary tooth. This cyst was missed initially due to a failed root canal treatment associated with the nonvital maxillary central incisor. This case of a cystic lesion can create a dilemma between radicular and dentigerous cyst. The pathogenesis of the ectopic tooth, differential diagnosis, and management are also discussed.

MANAGEMENT OF SECONDARILY INFECTED DENTIGEROUS CYST IN A SUPERNUMERARY MANDIBULAR PREMOLAR

Herein we report a case of secondarily infected dentigerous cyst in a supernumerary tooth. The patient, a 24-year-old black male, was referred to the oral medicine service with clinical signs of subcutaneous abscess in the left submandibular region. CT scan examination revealed a hypodense circumscribed lesion related to a third lower premolar with intimal relationship to the periodontal region of tooth 36. The supernumerary tooth was extracted and the lesion was enucleated. All collected material was submitted to histopathologic examination. Microscopic examination concluded the diagnosis. The patient is without complications after 35 months of clinical follow-up. The presence of supernumerary teeth increases the risk of various oral diseases such as dental crowding, development of odontogenic cysts and odontogenic tumors.

Infected Dentigerous Cyst in Impacted Canine - A Case Report
