Abstract

Dental cysts are one of the most common developmental types of odontogenic cysts occurring in the oral cavity and often manifest as incidental findings on dental radiographs and/or as asymptomatic swellings. These cysts develop from remnants of reduced enamel epithelium around the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth, attached at the level of the cementoenamel junction. Most are considered developmental. However, in young clients they may be inflammatory in origin, the result of caries in the primary dentition. In this report, a case of dental cyst in a 17-year-old patient and its treatment is presented. The cyst was totally enucleated and communication made with inferior meats for future drainage. There was no recurrence observed after 18 months follow-up.
