Outcome of a Dentigerous Cyst following Decompression using a Removable Appliance: A Case Report

Basak Durmus, Barhan Pekel,

Abstract

A dentigerous cyst is a benign odontogenic cyst that is associated with the crown of an unerupted permanent tooth. This report describes a conservative approach to treatment using a customised removable appliance for managing a large dentigerous cyst in a 7-year-old female. At the 2-year follow-up, healing of the lesion and ossification of the bony defect was observed.
