Dentigerous cyst is the most common type of odontogenic cyst followed by radicular cyst. Most of dentigerous cysts originate from the permanent dentition and a few of them are associated with mesiodens. The complications of a dentigerous cyst associated with mesiodens are eruption abnomalies of adjacent teeth, root resorption, displacement, rotation, diastema and the secondary infection of the cyst due to adjacent teeth. The treatment of a dentigerous cyst of a maxillary mesiodens is to enucleate a cyst with a mesiodens. Otherwise, when it is close to adjacent teeth, a cyst is to reduce the through marsupialization after removing a mesiodens. There are numerous studies on dentigerous cysts and mesiodentes alone; however, the studies on the association of the two are rare. These are case reports about patients with mixed dentition whose dentigerous cyst of a maxillary mesiodens had been removed. After removal, the patients have been regularly checked up and shown satisfactory progress.
