Abstract: Dentigerous cyst, ranked the second most common developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws after the radicular cyst, is a well-defined, unilocular radiolucent lesion without symptoms, frequently noted as an incidental finding in routine radiographs. The cystic lining is derived from epithelial remanants of the tooth-forming organ and the teeth most commonly affected are impacted mandibular third molars and permanent maxillary canines. While the dentigerous cyst is not uncommon, its development as a result of a… Show more

“…The sequelae of these cysts can lead to sinus obstruction. (Lacerda et al, 2018) The best hypothesis for the formation of a dentigerous cyst indicates an accumulation of fluid, originating from the increased pressure exerted by a possibly erupting tooth on the follicle, either between the reduced epithelium or between the epithelium layers of the enamel organ. (Contar et al, 2015).…”
