Abstract

A dentigerous cyst is the most common developmental odontogenic cyst. Patients with dentigerous cyst usually feel no pain or discomfort. If it is not treated, tooth eruption might not only be impeded, but also let the tooth translocate to the unusual area. So, early detection and appropriate treatment are important. Enucleation & marsupialization are the best options to treat a dentigerous cyst. Treatment plan depends on patient's age, health, preserve & protect of important structures, and sort of cyst. In these dentigerous cysts cases, by marsupialization and using obturator, affected tooth could be achieved spontaneous eruption into the dental arch even though they were badly dislocated.
