    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Residual dental cysts are uncommon sequelae of odontogenic cysts.
    • They can grow to significant sizes, particularly in edentulous mandibles where bone support is reduced.

    Observation:

    • A case of a massive residual dental cyst involving more than half of the mandible in an edentulous patient is presented.
    • The cyst presented with significant bone resorption and displacement.

    Findings:

    • The diagnosis was confirmed through histopathological examination.
    • Surgical enucleation and management of the defect were performed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for large residual dental cysts to develop in edentulous mandibles.
    • Effective surgical management is crucial for restoring function and preventing complications.
