Radiographic examination of dentigerous cysts in the transitional dentition

Abstract

Inflammatory change at the apex of the deciduous tooth may bring on a dentigerous cyst of the permanent successor.

Intra-Osseous Jaw Lesions in Paediatric Patients: A Retrospective Study

“…In current series of cases, DC showed association with impacted teeth in 26/31 cases, with mandibular premolar region being predominantly afflicted. This was well consistent with Shibata et al,'s findings [9]. Hence DC in relation to these impacted teeth was quite common in the transitional dentition.…”

Jaw cysts at children and adolescence: A single-center retrospective study of 152 cases in southern Bulgaria

“…Another theory for the origin discusses the possibility for falling of the permanent tooth's crown during eruption into dentigerous cyst formed around the apex of its transient predecessor. It has been also discussed the opinion that inflammatory changes in the apex of the transient tooth predecessor can be responsible for developing of dentigerous cysts around the corresponding permanent teeth (6). The term "odontogenic keratocyst" is proposed by Philipsen in 1956.…”

Estudo comparativo entre radiografia panorâmica e tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico no diagnóstico de ameloblastoma, tumor odontogênico queratocístico e cisto dentígero

“…São causados pela expansão do folículo dentário devido ao acúmulo de líquido entre o epitélio reduzido do órgão do esmalte e o esmalte ou entre as camadas do órgão do esmalte. Sua patogênese é desconhecida (SHIBATA et al, 2004;FREITAS et al, 2006;MCCREA, 2009;BUYUKKURT;OMEZLI;MILOGLU, 2010).…”

“…Os terceiros molares inferiores e caninos superiores são os dentes geralmente envolvidos, porém podem ser observados em dentes supranumerários especialmente em mesiodens (SHIBATA et al, 2004;DUNFEE et al, 2006;FREITAS et al, 2006;BOEDDINGHAUS;WHYTE, 2008;MCCREA, 2009;BUYUKKURT;OMEZLI;MILOGLU, 2010).…”
