Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic cysts that enclose the crown of an unerupted tooth.
  • Inverted impaction of central incisors is rare, especially in pediatric patients.

Observation:

  • A nine-year-old girl presented with an unusual case of an inverted central incisor.
  • Radiographic examination revealed an unerupted central incisor positioned unusually high, near the ethmoid bone, associated with a dentigerous cyst.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis was an infected dentigerous cyst containing an inverted central incisor.
  • Successful surgical enucleation of the cyst and removal of the unerupted tooth were performed.

Implications:
