Dentigerous cyts are form of benevolent odontogenic cyts which are related to crowns of permament teeth. Often, they are described as unilocular radiolucent lesions and barely seen in childhood era. This article aims to show a case about 11 year old boy having a dentigerous cyst associated with the mandibular canine and a premolar. Extraction of the primary molars and marsupialization of the lesion is also included in this method of treatment. After 9 months of the treatment, impacted teeth spontaneously erupted. Therefore, if we aim to manage of dentigerous cysts in children conservatively, marsupialization might be considered as first and foremost treatment method.

Background: N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal RNA modification in mammals, plays a critical role in many forms of cancer. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) serves as the main catalytic subunit of the m6A writer and plays a role in the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. To date, the role of METTL3 in odontogenic lesions has never been investigated.

Purpose: This report aims to present an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating a case of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), an inborn error of immunity, resulting in successive complications following a third molar extraction procedure.
Case Presentation: The patient, a 37-year-old Caucasian female, sought a specialist for the extraction of an impacted lower third molar associated with dentigerous cyst. Due to the possibility of mandibular fracture, a bone fixation system was used in the region.

Article Synopsis
- Odontogenic cysts can be treated aggressively through enucleation or conservatively through techniques like cyst decompression.
- Cyst decompression helps to alleviate pressure within the cyst, leading to its shrinkage and potentially avoiding more invasive treatments.
- The article details a case study of an 8-year-old boy with an infected odontogenic cyst who underwent a decompression technique for treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to differentiate between radicular cysts (RCs), dentigerous cysts (DCs), and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) using radiomic features as a non-invasive diagnosis method before surgery.
- A total of 161 cysts were analyzed through semi-automatic segmentation of CBCT images, focusing on various shape-based and textural features to assess their differences.
- Results indicated significant statistical differences in radiomic features among the cyst types, suggesting these features could help with differential diagnosis without needing a biopsy.
