Area of Science:

  • Odontogenic Cysts
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic cysts, typically occurring in late adolescence or early adulthood.
  • They arise from the reduced enamel epithelium of a developing tooth.
  • Maxillary dentigerous cysts are less common than mandibular ones.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old boy presented with a dentigerous cyst in the left maxillary canine region.
  • The cyst was associated with significant cortical expansion and noticeable facial asymmetry.
  • This presentation is unusual due to the patient's young age and the cyst's location in the maxilla.

Findings:

  • Surgical enucleation of the dentigerous cyst was performed.
  • The patient underwent a 6-month follow-up period post-surgery.
  • No recurrence or complications were noted during the follow-up.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering dentigerous cysts even in young children with maxillary lesions.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent complications like facial deformity and tooth displacement.
  • Further research into the etiology and prevalence of early-onset dentigerous cysts may be warranted.
