Case Report: Dentrigerous cyst in 42 year old male patient. Dr. Isheeta Verma (1), Dr. Prasanna Kumar P (2), Dr. Ankita Raj (3)

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic cysts commonly associated with the crown 
of unerupted or impacted teeth. These cysts, though usually asymptomatic, can grow 
significantly, causing swelling, pain, and displacement of adjacent teeth. This case report 
details the diagnosis and surgical management of a 4 cm dentigerous cyst in the left 
mandibular region of a 42-year-old male patient, involving the third molar and extending to 
the second molar. The surgery was performed under general anaesthesia, employing a 
combination of marsupialization and enucleation to manage the cyst effectively while 
preserving vital structures.
