“…Dentigerous cysts are most commonly seen in the mandible and secondarily in the maxilla. Generally the transoral route is preferred for dentigerous cysts located in the maxilla rather than the endoscopic route (2,3). However, we did not prefer the transoral route for this cyst; it can cause serious weakening of the anterior and lateral wall of the maxillary sinus.…”

Dentigerous cysts constitute 20% of all odontogenic cysts and are often located in the mandible and maxilla. They are often seen at young ages and in men. Patients are usually asymptomatic, and the diagnosis is established by dental radiographs in routine scans. Surgery is recommended for dentigerous cysts because ameloblastoma, intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma, or intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma may develop from them. Generally the transoral route is preferred over the endoscopic route for dentigerous cysts located in the maxilla. In addition to the question of the transnasal versus oral approach to dentigerous cysts, another controversy is the removal or marsupialization of the entire cyst. In our 10-year-old male patient, a cyst that completely filled the right maxillary sinus and eroded the lateral and anterior wall of the maxillary sinus was treated with transnasal endoscopic surgery. The cyst wall and 3 permanent teeth were removed endoscopically. No post-operative complications were observed. The patient's age and the location and size of the cyst play an important role in the choice of treatment. Furthermore, the most accurate way to choose the appropriate treatment is to make the treatment decision with a multidisciplinary approach.

“…It's important for healthcare professionals to be aware of the potential existence of AOTs, even though they are relatively rare, to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate management when encountering such cases. 6 The summary of distribution and features can be described as: Africa: Reported relative frequencies of AOTs in Africa range from 1% to 38.5%.Asia: Relative frequencies in Asia range from 1% to 16%.South America: AOTs are reported to account for 4-7% of odontogenic tumors in South America. North America: In North America, the relative frequency ranges from 2% to 7%.…”

Our article reports the case of a adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) associated with an upper permanent central incisor, previously diagnosed as dentigerous cyst.the condition is a slow-progressing and nonmalignant epithelial tumor. Specifically, it mentions that it is an Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor (AOT). The clinical features of AOT are outlined, including its association with impacted teeth or, in the absence of impacted teeth, it presents as painless, bony expansion and facial asymmetry due to the growth of the lesion. A 16‑year‑old female patient presented to the Department of ENT with a chief complaint of swelling on the upper left side of the face that had been present for 2 months. The patient underwent a surgical procedure, specifically a Caldwell luc operation and left medial maxillectomy with Denker's technique. The pathology reports confirmed the diagnosis of a benign odontogenic tumor favoring Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor. The article emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in children to achieve the best possible outcome in managing such conditions.

“…Dentigerous cysts, also known as follicular cysts, are benign odontogenic cysts of developmental origin [1] . Dentigerous Cysts are most commonly, but not exclusively, present in the mandibular third molar region accounting for about 20–30 % of all bone cysts in the head and neck region [2] .…”
