Panoramic Findings for Predicting Eruption of Mandibular Premolars Associated With Dentigerous Cyst After Marsupialization

What Do We Know About Dentigerous Cysts in Children, A Review of Literature

“…The size of the cyst and the existing space between adjacent teeth appear to have no influence on the eruption of these teeth [119]. In accordance with the above studies, the probability of eruption of a permanent tooth enclosed in DCs where their tooth has a depth less than 5 mm and where the angle of the tooth is less than 25º and the space between adjacent teeth was greater than the size of the teeth [120]. It's very well established that the average time it takes teeth to erupt without carrying out orthodontic traction is approximately three months in comparison to a period of some hundred days after the more conservative approach has been used to decide whether to extract or carry out orthodontic traction.…”

Marsupialization of Dentigerous Cyst: Report of a Case

“…However, because tooth eruption is not reliably predictable, clinical judgment might lead many clinicians to entirely remove the cyst and extract the tooth [9]. Lack of clinically useful evidence regarding tooth eruption complicates decision-making [6].…”

“…Clinically, a localized swelling of the alveolar bone can be detected [6], however, dentigerous cysts can be asymptomatic during a long period of time, leading to a significant destruction of bone [7]. The lesion is usually detected by routine radiographic examination and, in general the suspicious of the existence of a dentigerous cyst arises when the radiographic image of the follicular space is larger than 5 mm in diameter [8].…”

Dentigerous cyst of infl ammatory origin in mixed dentition: A case report and review of literature

“…[15] Enucleation is the procedure in which the entire cystic lining is removed along with, or without the involved tooth which is generally advocated for smaller cysts.…”
