Background: Dentigerous cysts are slow-growing, asymptomatic lesions that typically form around the crowns of impacted teeth. They are not detected until they start to harm the tissues around the teeth.
Aim: The present study aimed to describe surgical techniques for treating dentigerous cysts associated with ectopic teeth.
Cases: Three patients with dentigerous cysts associated with ectopic teeth, their surgical approaches, and the supporting literature are presented herein. In two cases, the surgical technique used was intra-oral, and in one case was extra-oral. Under general anesthesia, dentigerous cyst enucleation and ectopic tooth removal were carried out.
Discussion: In the present study, the ectopic tooth cases were all linked to dentigerous cysts. Enucleation or marsupialization treatments could be used to treat dentigerous cysts. Enucleation with the removal of the impacted tooth is the preferred treatment for dentigerous cysts.
Conclusion: To perform minimally invasive surgery, the position of the ectopic teeth, the accessibility of the surgical site, the degree of bone reduction, and the simplicity of instrumentation should all be considered.

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.

Background: Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a partial manifestation of Gorlin syndrome (GS), resulting from the abnormal activation of the hedgehog signaling pathway. OKC predominantly occurs in young adults and is mostly asymptomatic at the time of initial diagnosis. As OKC is asymptomatic, GS can be challenging to diagnose in certain instances.
