ABSTRACT Dentigerous cyst, ranked the second most common developmental odontogenic cyst of the jaws after the radicular cyst, is a well-defined, unilocular radiolucent lesion without symptoms, frequently noted as an incidental finding in routine radiographs. The cystic lining is derived from epithelial remanants of the tooth-forming organ and the teeth most commonly affected are impacted mandibular third molars and permanent maxillary canines. While the dentigerous cyst is not uncommon, its development as a result of an impacted deciduous tooth is rare. The aim of this article was to make a brief literature review and report a case of dentigerous cysts associated with an impacted deciduous molar in the maxillary posterior region, with involvement of the right maxillary sinus.

Dentigerous cysts are one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts and are associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth, especially of the mandibular third molar. In this study, the characteristics of a dentigerous cyst developed around a mandibular third molar on panoramic radiographs were investigated. The panoramic images of 257 consecutive dentigerous cyst cases associated with a mandibular third molar were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 45.9 ± 13.3 years. The size of the cyst did not significantly correlate to the age of the patient. The unilocular type (89.1%) and the crown side type (68.5%) were significant. The associated mandibular third molars had a high frequency of class III (64.6%) and position B (48.3%) in Pell and Gregory classification and of horizontal position (36.3%) in angulation. Dentigerous cysts were thought to originate and grow commonly around deeply impacted third molars. The associated third molar with dentigerous cyst tends to have a mesial inclination. Dentigerous cysts do not appear to develop gradually after the crown formation has finished, but arise at various periods randomly.

Introduction: Impaction may be defined as the failure of complete eruption into a normal functional position of one tooth within normal time due to lack of space in the dental arch, caused by obstruction byanother tooth or development in an abnormal position. The mandibular third molar is the most frequently impacted tooth. The incidence varies from 9.5% to 68% in different populations.Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Oral Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, University in Sarajevo. Study represents retrospective analysis of panoramic radiographs (orthopantomograms) of patientsreferred to Department of Oral Surgery from January 2010 to February 2013 with indication for surgical removal of impacted third molars.Results: Of the 2000 radiographs, 761 presented with at least one impacted third molar (38%). A total of 1034 impacted mandibular third molars were present (51.7%). The most common age group was thirddecade (61.2%). Signifi cant statistical difference in incidence of third molar impaction was found between females and males (p<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in incidence in urban and suburbanpopulation (p=0.374). Vertical angulation was the most common pattern of impaction (65%). Frequency of third molars erupted into their normal position (class IA) was 42%. Impacted mandibular molars wereassociated with periodontal pockets in 134 (6.5%) cases and with dentigerous cysts in 5 cases (0.2%).Conclusion: The present study provides useful data regarding the clinical status of third molars in population of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Non-syndromal bilateral dentigerous cysts are rare. It is conceivable that they are either under-recognized or under-reported. In this article we report the unusual occurrence of non-syndromic bilateral dentigerous cysts associated with mandibular third molars with polymorphism in chromosome 1qh+. It is suggested that in non syndromal cases of bilateral dentigerous cysts karyotyping should be done to confirm the association with chromosomal 1 anomaly.

Dentigerous cyst is an odontogenic cyst that surrounds the crown of an impacted tooth, caused by fluid accumulation between the reduced enamel epithelium and the enamel surface, usually associated with mandibular third molars. The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of dentigerous cyst caused by impaction of mandibular third molar at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department of Hasan Sadikin hospital Bandung. This study was a descriptive survey study. Samples were taken from the data of patient’s medical record from July 2006 until June 2011. The result of this study showed the number of oromaxillofacial cyst cases in the period was as much as 316 (0.78%). Dentigerous cyst was the most common odontogenic cyst (48,64%). Dentigerous cyst most commonly caused by impaction of the mandibular third molar (13,89%). The amount of male and female patients with dentigerous cyst was the same (50% each). The most age group that suffered dentigerous cyst due to impaction of the mandibular third molars was the age group of 41-50 years (40%). The most chosen therapy was enucleation (100%). From the results of this study can be concluded that dentigerous cyst due to impaction of mandibular third molars was the most common case, with the same frequency found in both male and female, the most age group of impacted was the age group of 41-50 years old, and the most chosen therapy was enucleation.
