Description
Summary:Dentigerous cyst is a common odontogenic cyst of the jaw, caused by the accumulation of cystic fluid between the tooth crown and the reduced enamel epithelium. Dentigerous cysts tend to occur in teenagers, more often in males than females, especially in mixed dentition, and most commonly involving mandibular premolars, mandibular third molars and maxillary canines. In recent years, some traditional treatments of children jaw cysts have been replaced by conservative treatments, such as open tamponade, vacuum sealing drainage, marsupialization, supplemented by obturator, pocket suture, orthodontic treatment, etc. However, few cases of natural fenestration have been reported. In this paper, we report a case of children dentigerous cyst with natural fenestration, which provides ideas for the treatment of dentigerous cysts in adolescents.
