Eruption of teeth associated with a dentigerous cyst by only marsupialization treatment: a case report.
The purpose of this case report was to describe the management of a mandibular dentigerous cyst in a 10-year-old male patient. Without any clinical symptom, the lesion was detected in a routine panoramic radiograph showing a well-defined osteolytic lesion that measured 3 cm in diameter, partially surrounding the crown of the canine, first molar, and second premolar displacing the teeth to the mandible's lower border. The apex of the teeth were still open. Under local anesthesia, the patient was treated by: extraction of the left deciduous canine and first and second deciduous molars; and marsupialization of the cystic cavity. After 30 months, the premolar had erupted and an orthodontic therapy was started to maintain space for the canine.
