“…We have reported the similar site in our study, irrespective of dentition status. Comparing the location of MF within the Saudi population, our research is consistent with other studies [14,25]. Although a study by Shoukry et al [8] on the Saudi population found the highest prevalence of MF between 1st and 2nd premolar (PM).…”

Objective: The anatomy of mental foramen (MF) is a noteworthy landmark during any surgical procedures in the inter-foraminal region. Thus, the study aims at evaluating the location of MF and the emergence pattern of MN in three status of dentition in Saudi Arabian population. Material and Methods: In a prospective study, we have analyzed 240 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the location of MF and the emergence pattern of MN. The study comprising three groups, namely dentulous, partially edentulous and edentulous, each having eighty CBCT scans. We presented the data in percentages. The chisquare and McNemar’s test were used for testing association and pair-wise analysis, respectively. Results: The most common location of MF was below the apex of the second premolar irrespective of dentition status, with 54.2% in right and 60% in the left side of the jaw. Among the dentition status, left side of the mandible has shown significant variation for the location of MF, whereas gender and age showed variation in the right side. Anterior loop (AL) (Type-III) the emergence pattern of MN was the highest in all dentition status, with 51.7% in right and 53.8% on the left side. The variation in the emergence pattern of MN in terms of gender and side of the jaw was statistically significant. Conclusion: In the Saudi Arabian population, the apex of second premolar and type III/AL was the most prevalent location of MF and the emergence pattern of MN, respectively.

“…Different infectious lesions, benign and malignant tumors and cystic lesions can be found in the maxillofacial region. The latter are the most frequent in dentistry ( [1][2][3] ), the most prevalent being radicular cysts, which are part of the group of inflammatory cysts, followed by dentigerous cysts, which are developmental cysts ( 4,5 ). The latter represent 20% of maxillary cysts and are generally associated with the crowns of unerupted teeth and can be observed in patients with a wide age range.…”

Dentigerous cysts are a common cystic pathology that develop between the first and third decade of life and are mainly associated with impacted or erupted mandibular third molars followed by maxillary canines and maxillary third molars. These kinds of cysts are the result of the proliferation of enamel epithelium after its formation, the pathogenesis of which is not clear. Few of these cysts have been reported in pediatric patients. The following case report presents the rare occurrence ofa dentigerous cyst in a 6-year-old boy and describes the treatment administered.

“…1 2 3 Dentigerous cysts are often incidentally detected during routine radiological examinations or after noticing the absence or a delayed eruption of a permanent tooth, tooth crowding due to tooth displacement caused by the pressure exerted by the cyst, or silent cortical expansion, especially in large dentigerous cysts. 1 3 7 8 9 Some dentigerous cysts resorb one or both cortical plates (buccal/palatal, buccal/lingual), while others, after having resorbed the totality of the cortex, may appear translucent and may be compressible. 1 3 Furthermore, dentigerous cysts have a greater tendency than other jaw cysts to produce root resorption of adjacent teeth.…”

“…Radiologically, a dentigerous cyst is usually a well-demarcated, unilocular, radiolucent lesion associated with the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. 1 3 7 8 9 Shear and Speight 1 classified dentigerous cysts into 3 radiological types or variations: the central variety or type, in which the crown is enveloped symmetrically by the dentigerous cyst ( Fig. 1 ); the lateral type, in which the peri-coronal follicle dilates only on 1 aspect of the crown ( Fig.…”

Purpose This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence, distribution, and radiological features (as per the Shear classification) of dentigerous cysts in a Lebanese sample. Materials and Methods It was an epidemiological, cross-sectional, 5-year retrospective study of 137 dentigerous cysts treated at Lebanese Army Dental Departments. The collected data comprised demographic and radiological information corresponding to patients from July 2015 to July 2020. Syndromic cases were excluded. Demographic data and the radiological features of cases were studied and analyzed. Results Dentigerous cysts were treated in 109 patients (58.7% males and 41.3% females; mean age: 28.3±16.3 years) out of 6,013 patients (52% males and 48% females), with a prevalence of 1.8%. Dentigerous cysts were more commonly found in patients in their second and third decades of life than in older age groups. Of the 109 patients, 22.9% had multiple dentigerous cysts. Of the 137 cysts, 71.5% were mandibular. The most prevalent anatomical location was the posterior mandible, followed by the posterior maxilla. The most commonly involved tooth was the mandibular third molar. Regarding radiological types, the central type was the most common (60.6%), followed by the lateral type (29.2%), and the circumferential type (10.2%). Conclusion The results of this study were similar to studies of other populations in terms of distribution and features. Multiple non-syndromic dentigerous cysts were more common than reported in other studies, which warrants further clinical studies to reveal previously undetected factors.
