Odontogenic cysts are derived from odontogenic epithelium which may develop before or after the formation of tooth. Most of these are developmental in origin. While dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that are related to the crown of the impacted tooth and known to arise from reduced enamel epithelium.

A dentigerous cyst is an epithelial-lined odontogenic cyst formed by an accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. About 70% of dentigerous cysts occur in the mandible and 30% in the maxilla and the most involved teeth are maxillary canines and maxillary third molar. Dentigerous cysts often displace the related tooth into an ectopic position. In the maxilla when the cyst expands into the sinus, usually causes total or partial occupation of the sinus cavity and can extend to the nose. We report a rare case of a 24-year-old female with bilateral maxillary third molars inside the maxillary sinuses attached to a dentigerous cyst and treated with a minimally invasive endoscopic surgery through the middle meatal meatotomy.

ABSTRACT Dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst that develops by accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown of unerupted tooth. Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth between both maxillary central incisors. Dentigerous cyst associated with mesiodens is rare. This paper presents a case of dentigerous cyst associated with an inverted mesiodens causing a painless swelling in the upper lip of a 29 years old male patient along with the treatment strategy employed for the patient.

Dentigerous cysts are the benign odontogenic cysts that surround the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth and they account for approximately 20-24% of the jaw cysts. Dentigerous cysts involving impacted second premolars are rare. Here we report a case of surgical enucleation of an inflammatory type of dentigerous cyst associated with the impacted mandibular second premolar in a 12-year-old child. Nine-months follow up showed satisfactory healing of the defect with remarkable bone formation.

CDC7 is a serine/threonine kinase which has an essential role in initiation of DNA proliferation and S phase. It increases the invasion and proliferation in many pathologic lesions. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of CDC7 in the most common odontogenic cysts. We evaluated 17 dentigerous cysts, 18 odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) and 13 radicular cysts immunohistochemically. The mean expression of CDC7 was analyzed using ANOVA and Post-HOC methods. All specimens revealed CDC7 expression. Higher expression of CDC7 in OKC and radicular cyst was shown in comparison to dentigerous cyst (P < 0.001), while radicular cyst and OKC groups showed no difference in CDC7 expression (P = 0.738). The high expression of CDC7 in OKC suggests that this protein could be related to the higher proliferation rate and invasiveness of OKC. On the other hand, the higher CDC7 expression in radicular cyst may simply be related to inflammation as this cyst is neither aggressive nor invasive.

Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts of the jaws, and sometimes inhibit the eruption of teeth. Almost all of the dentigerous cyst encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth and the radiolucent area is attached to the tooth at the cementoenamel junction. Dentigerous cyst is more common in male patients and most commonly develop in the second and third decades of life. Clinically, a localized swelling of the alveolar bone can be detected, however, dentigerous cysts can be asymptomatic during a long period of time, leading to a significant destruction of bone. The conventional treatment plan is cyst removal and marsupialization. Marsupialization therapy can be useful to promote the spontaneous eruption of the involved tooth within the cyst. However, tooth eruption does not always occur spontaneously after marsupialization. This article aims to report a clinical case of the diagnosis and treatment of a dentigerous cyst in the maxilla associated with an unerupted canine in a pediatric patient and discussion of the treatment performed.

Introduction: Dentigerous cyst is a pathological epithelial cavity that surrounds an unerupted tooth crown. Dentigerous cysts are usually associated with impacted teeth, mandibular third molars, first and second premolars and canines. Dentigerous cysts can occur at any age, but most cases of these cysts occur at the age of approximately 20 years. Men are affected more often than women. Purpose.To find out how the mechanism of dentigerous cysts. The cyst cavity is lined with epithelial cells derived from the epithelial enamel that is reduced from the tooth-forming organs. According to its pathogenesis, the pressure exerted by an erupted tooth on the follicle can block venous flow leading to accumulation of exudate between the reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of the tooth. These cysts are mostly due to fluid accumulation either between the reduced enamel epithelium and the enamel or between the layers of the enamel organ. This fluid accumulation occurs as a result of the pressure exerted by the erupting tooth on the affected follicle, which blocks venous flow, thus inducing rapid transudation of serum in the capillary walls. Discussion: The expansion of the dentigerous cyst causes the release of bone resorbing factor and an increase in the osmolarity of the cyst fluid as a result of the discharge of inflammatory cells, the discharge of residual epithelial enamel and tooth enamel, and desquamation of epithelial cells into the lumen of the cyst. In theory, the fluid will cause cystic proliferation. because the hyperosmolar content produced by cellular breakdown and cell products causes an osmotic gradient to pump fluid into the lumen of the cyst or it can also be said that an increase in the osmolarity of cyst fluid is the result of a shortcut to inflammatory cells and desquamation of epithelial cells into the lumen of the cyst resulting in a dentigerous cyst. Conclusion: The dentigerous cysts that surround the unerupted dental crowns are caused by the accumulation of fluid either between the reduced enamel epithelium or between the layers of the enamel organs. Dentigerous cysts can cause infection, pain, swelling, root dislocation, and resorption of adjacent tooth roots.

Aims: The main goal of the following case report was to shed the light on the importance of thorough clinical, radiological and histological examinations in order to elaborate a final diagnosis of asymptomatic dentigerous cysts detected in unusual locations. Presentation of Case: A case of dentigerous cyst was identified accidentally in the maxillary left premolar region of an asymptomatic 14-year-old female post an orthodontic consultation. Histological examination of the tissue specimens following enucleation confirmed the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst. Discussion: Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts. They involve impacted, un-erupted, permanent, supernumerary, odontomas and rarely deciduous teeth. Dentigerous cysts are usually painless but may cause facial swelling and delayed tooth eruption. Extensive maxillary involvement and childhood presentation are rare. Radio-graphic and histological examinations should be done to confirm the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst. Conclusion: In our case, we showed the presence of a maxillary premolar dentigerous cyst that was removed by enucleation. The presence of dentigerous cyst is not always associated with a syndrome and its removal is very important to avoid future complications.

ABSTRACT Dentigerous cyst of mandible is a rare entity in routine clinical practice. A dentigerous or follicular cyst is formed from the accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the completely formed tooth crown or in the layers of the reduced enamel epithelium. Pulp necrosis is a commonly observed sequel in traumatized primary teeth and is one of the possible etiologic factors for the development of dentigerous teeth. The dentigerous cyst is found in children and adolescents; the highest incidence is in the second and third decades. This article reports the case of a dentigerous cyst associated with the germ of a permanent mandibular right lower canine. The therapeutic approach included endodontic treatment of the primary tooth and marsupialization of the lesion. In conclusion, with proper case selection, marsupialization might be a good treatment option for conservative management of dentigerous cysts. How to cite this article Aggarwal P, Sohal BS, Uppal KS.
