Article Synopsis
- Dentigerous cysts (DC) are lesions that form around the crown of an impacted tooth, and this article discusses various treatment methods for these cysts.
- An adolescent case is presented where the management involved the surgical extraction of the tooth, removal of the cyst, and replanting of the permanent tooth, leading to successful outcomes such as bone healing and tooth eruption without the need for orthodontic intervention.
- Long-term follow-up showed no recurrence of the cyst after 12 months, and the replanted tooth remained vital after 7 years, suggesting that this surgical approach can be an effective option in similar cases.
