AI Article Synopsis
- - A dentigerous cyst is a cyst that develops around the crown of a tooth that hasn't yet erupted, and this case involves a 7-year-old girl with swelling due to this type of cyst.
- - The girl experienced painful swelling, especially around teeth No. 9 and No. 9d, which were causing tooth displacement; imaging showed a large cystic lesion affecting surrounding teeth.
- - After treatment involving marsupialization and removal of affected teeth, her swelling decreased, and follow-up revealed that while nearby teeth erupted, they remained displaced, highlighting the need for regular dental check-ups in children.
Article Abstract
A dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic developmental cyst associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth. This article describes the case of a 7-year-old girl with painful swelling in the left facial region, prolonged retention of tooth No. 9d, and a displaced tooth No. 9 in eruption. Radiographic examination revealed an extensive radiolucent lesion of approximately 28 mm and displacement of teeth No. 10 and 11. Marsupialization was performed, teeth No. 8d and 9d were removed, and the swelling reduced immediately. At a 2-year follow-up, radiographs revealed that teeth No. 10 and 11 had erupted but were displaced. Routine radiographic examinations are important for children during the eruption phase to prevent and detect any alterations that could damage the permanent dentition and occlusion.
