Case Report: Dentrigerous cyst in 42 year old male patient.

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic cysts commonly associated with the crown of unerupted or impacted teeth. These cysts, though usually asymptomatic, can grow significantly, causing swelling, pain, and displacement of adjacent teeth. This case report details the diagnosis and surgical management of a 4 cm dentigerous cyst in the left mandibular region of a 42-year-old male patient, involving the third molar and extending to the second molar. The surgery was performed under general anaesthesia, employing a combination of marsupialization and enucleation to manage the cyst effectively while preserving vital structures.
