DENTIGEROUS CYST, TOOTH ERUPTION, PATHOLOGY CLINICAL.Abstract
Introduction: the dentigerous cyst or follicular cyst is a pathological cavity that develops inside the maxillary bone tissue, it is the second most common type of odontogenic cyst, it is found surrounding the crown of an unerupted tooth omitting the root or roots of said structure. Histologically it presents a capsule of fibrous connective tissue weakly fixed, with small islands or cords of odontogenic epithelium.
Objective: to present a clinical case and review of the literature on a dentigerous cyst in the mandibular ramus in a pediatric patient.
Methods: a literature search was performed in the databases of Elsevier, PubMed, Scielo as well as literatures from 2019 to 2023 documented in reference to case reports. In order to choose the clinical case, it was decided to work with the study of a rare oral pathology in pediatric patients such as the dentigerous cyst; for which a novel surgical technique is sought to be identified.
Results: the present clinical case corresponds to a 12 year old female patient who comes to the oral surgery department presenting pain in the mandibular region on the right side of one year of evolution, clinically at the extra oral examination there is evidence of slight facial asymmetry due to unilateral increase of volume, at the intraoral examination there is absence of dental pieces.
Conclusions: dentigerous cyst is a rare dental pathology, but it can have important repercussions if not treated in time; therefore, its early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid complications.
