Background: Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental odontogenic cysts of the jaws and account for approximately 20–24% of the jaw cysts. They mostly surround the crown of unerupted teeth, odontomas or supernumerary teeth. The treatment modalities range from marsupialization to enucleation of the lesion. Materials and methods: A prospective study was done in patients reporting to the department of oral & maxillofacial surgery from June 2012 to December 2013. During the specified period, 14 cases of dentigerous cyst were treated by enucleation and marsupialization. Results: From June 2012 to December 2013, 14 cases of dentigerous cysts were diagnosed. The mean age of occurrence of dentigerous cyst was 23.35 years. Out of 14 cases 5 (35.71%) were females, and 9 (64.29%) were males. The most common site for DC was the mandibular molar region. Conclusion: The most frequent involved site was the posterior region of the mandible and the most commonly associated tooth was the third molar tooth. The cysts had a tendency to displace associated and/or adjacent teeth. Enucleation and marsupialization were successful treatment modalities with no recurrence seen in any of the patients. Keywords: Dentigerous cyst, impacted tooth, enucleation. |
