title: Dentigerous cyst associated with a deciduous tooth. A case report.
abstract: A case of a dentigerous cyst associated with a deciduous tooth in a 2-year-old boy is presented. Radiologic examination revealed a well-defined radiolucency in the right maxilla associated with the crown of a maxillary second deciduous molar. The cyst cavity was lined with nonkeratinized squamous epithelium, and odontogenic epithelial islands were seen in subepithelial connective tissue.
