Tag: Marsupialization

Among the non-inflammatory odontogenic cysts, the dentigerous cyst stands out as the most prevalent, often associated with impacted teeth. Comprising remnants of the tooth-forming organ, these cysts are typically discovered incidentally through routine radiographic exams in childhood, being asymptomatic at that stage. However, they can silently grow to substantial sizes, causing bone expansion and facial swelling. This case report details a successful marsupialization treatment for a 10-year-old male patient diagnosed with a dentigerous cyst, with the use of a removable acrylic obturator to maintain a clear channel.
