A case report of dentigerous cyst with facial swelling
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
The dentigerous cyst originates through alteration of the reduced enamel epithelium after amelogenesis is completed, with accumulation of fluid between the layers of the enamel epithelium or between this epithelium and the tooth crown. It is
always
associated with unerupted teeth. There are two methods of treament which are generally accepted. One is the enucleation of the cystic sac in its entirety, the other is the Partch operation, or the marsupialization, by which the cyst is uncovered
or
"deroofed" and the cystic lining made continuous with the oral avity or surrounding structures.
The present case report showed that in instance of dentigerous cyst & odontogenic keratocyst surgical enucleation followed by careful excision of all cyst wall was successfully carried out and recovery and healing were rapid and uncomplicated.
