VAZQUEZ DIEGO, J.; GANDINI PABLO, C. e CARVAJAL EDUARDO, E.. Dentigerous cyst: diagnosis and resolution of a case. A review of the literature. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.6, pp.359-364. ISSN 2340-3152.
A clinical case of dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted lower right second premolar in a 13-year-old male patient, is reported. An extraoral oblique lateral technique of the ramus and a parallel intraoral technique were used to locate the cyst and to perform a presumptive diagnosis of the lesion. A surgical procedure was then carried out to remove the impacted tooth and also to enucleate the cyst, which was sent to the laboratory for a histo-pathological study; this study confirmed our earlier presumptive diagnosis. Finally, we decided to follow-up the case. Based on our findings, dentigerous cyst is analyzed according to its location, sex and age of patients and most affected jaw, after reviewing the literature on this subject.
