Abstract
A dentigerous cyst is an epithelium-lined sac that surrounds the crown of an impacted, embedded, or unerupted tooth. Many surgical procedures have been described for the elimination of dentigerous cyst, but they can be devided into two basic group: enucleation and marsupialization. Marsupialization is a conservative technique which allows the reduction or elimination of a cystic lesion by making it an accessory compartment to the oral cavity and it is the best way to conserve a tooth affected by dentigerous cyst and to permit its eruption, especially in young patient. After using marsupialization to treat dentigerous cyst associated with the crown of unerupted premolar in young patient, the results were as follows: 1. Reduction of bony expansion and rapid bone regeneration without infection and recurrence were observed. 2. Normally spontaneous eruption of involved teeth were permitted, as well as loss of affected tooth was avoided. 3. Follow-up examinations revealed no complication and recurrence.
Key Words: Dentigerous cyst, Marsupialization
