Purpose: The dentigerous cyst is the second most common odontogenic cyst in the jaws. These lesions are observed in routine examinations. The third molars and maxillary canines are the most affected teeth. Definition of marsupialization and enucleation techniques as well as consideration of important objective criteria for the treatment plan like cyst size, age, and proximity to anatomical structures, clinical importance of the tooth or teeth associated with the lesion and risk of bone fracture. This paper will present a case report treated by maneuver of decompression followed by enucleation and bone reconstruction. Case report: A 43-year-old female patient, Caucasian, attended the Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery consultation at Clitrofa - Centro Médico, Dentário e Cirúrgico, in Trofa - Portugal, to assess extraction of 3.8 and 4.8. On intraoral physical examination, a slight bulging of the cortical bone was noted in the region of the left external oblique line. Aspiration puncture was performed and a small amount of light-yellow liquid confirmed the cystic nature of the lesion. In a second stage, osteotomy through piezoelectric surgery was performed. The cystic capsule was excised together with the extraction of tooth 3.8 included and tooth 3.7. Bone regeneration was performed. The material obtained from the cystic cavity was sent for pathological examination, confirming the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst. During observation of the patient for twelve months, no hypoesthesia or any sign of recurrence of the lesion was observed. Conclusion: The technique preserved the neurosensory function and was effective for the enucleation and reconstruction of the lesion. Despite the clinical peculiarities of each case and the chosen treatment method, the prognosis of these lesions is favourable when appropriate therapy is used.

Introduction: The dentigerous cyst, also called a follicular cyst is an odontogenic cyst that develops in association with crown of an impacted tooth, predominantly in mandibular third molars of young patients. The Odontoma is a ectomesenquimal tumor of unknown origin that are more considered developmental malformations (harmatomas) than benign neoplasms. Occasionally, the dentigerous cyst is associated with odontoma. Objective: The article aims to report a case of surgical treatment of dentigerous cyst associated with compound odontoma and unerupted tooth in anterior region of the mandible. Case report: A male patient, 17 years of age, without systemic changes, was sent to the Center for Dental Specialties of Horizonte, Ceará, Brazil, specialty of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, for diagnosis and treatment of oral lesions visualized after periapical radiographic examination to determine failed eruption of element 42. Observing the periapical radiograph it was possible to visualize radiopaque lesion suggestive of a compound odontoma and a cystic capsule in association with the element 42. A panoramic radiographwas requested and it was planned a surgical removal of odontoma with curettage of bone cavity and removing the cystic capsule and element 42. There were no significant postoperative complications, the suture removal was performed 7 days after surgery where it was possible to observe a good healing, no swelling and no paresthesia. Conclusion: The treatment of choice is surgical excision of the lesions with the tooth associated to the cyst, it should be performed with proper planning, avoiding injury to vital structures and should not be delayed in order to avoid possible occlusion sequelae.

The Aberdeen Royal Infirmary oral and maxillofacial surgery department is involved in the joint planning of cases with the orthodontic and restorative departments of the Aberdeen Dental Hospital to agree an optimal treatment plan for patients, with input from all three specialties. A 7-year-old girl was referred to the orthodontic department by her GDP due to non-eruption of the upper left central incisor. This was related to an associated dentigerous cyst. This presentation illustrates the phases of treatment involving marsupialization of the dentigerous cyst; surgical extraction and orthodontic treatment in order to provide the patient with the optimal outcome for her dentition. A retrospective assessment of the case is presented through photographs and radiological imaging outlining the chronology of the treatment and the outcome of marsupialization of the dentigerous cyst. It highlights this more conservative surgical approach as giving the best chances of preserving unerupted teeth in a younger patient. Marsupialization of a dentigerous cyst associated with UL1 and conservative management of cystic pathology led to preservation and natural mesial eruption of UL3 into the position of UL1. The unerupted UL1 associated with cystic pathology was extracted due to its ectopic position and root dilaceration. Seven years after diagnosis of the dentigerous cyst associated with the unerupted UL1, surgical and orthodontic management has facilitated the for patients tooth to erupt into the UL1 position. Restorative treatment is being planned following orthodontic treatment to restore for patients tooth to simulate the missing UL1. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case encourages the appropriate referral of young patients with dentigerous cysts to achieve a satisfactory outcome.

This case report aims to increase awareness of how an adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) can present in a similar fashion to a dentigerous cyst and the importance of accurate histopathological diagnosis. In this case, the AOT resulted in loss of the upper left permanent canine in a patient who already had a congenitally absent upper left second premolar, compromising the original orthodontic treatment plan.

Dental implant surgery is a common procedure in oral and maxillofacial surgery practices. Extensive training, skill, and experience allow this procedure to be performed with an atraumatic approach, but like any surgical technique, it is subject to accidents and complications. This is an unusual clinical case of an accidental displacement of an implant into the submandibular space that progressed to Ludwig’s angina, and it has not yet been described in the literature. This case report describes a clinical case of dental implant displaced into the submandibular space after healing cap removal. After seven days, it progressed to Ludwig’s angina. The removal was performed through extraoral access in the submandibular area by using hemostatic forceps and radioscopic technique. After implant removal, the clinical case showed a satisfactory repair emphasizing the importance of a meticulous clinical planning to achieve an appropriate treatment plan, which is essential for a favorable prognosis. Therefore, prevention and management of displaced objects requires proper planning and surgical technique.

A healthy and beautiful smile can affect appearance and confidence. One of the aesthetic problems in dentistry that is often complained of by patients is excessive gingival display (gummy smile). The excessive gingival display can be caused by several factors, one of which is altered passive eruption (APE). One of the treatments to correct gummy smile related to APE is crown lengthening. Crown lengthening can be with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) or without bone reduction (gingivectomy). Crown Lengthening with bone reduction is a surgical procedure that aims to maintain the dentogingival complex and to improve smile aesthetics. The purpose of this case report is to determine the crown lengthening with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) procedure as a gummy smile treatment related to APE .A23-year-old female patient, came to Dental Hospital of Universitas Airlangga with complaints of her upper gum which not in the same length and the teeth looked short, she considered her smile was less aesthetic. After conducting analyses relating to aesthetics and periodontal tissue, crown lengthening with bone reduction was chosen for this patient treatment. The treatment results are quite good, visible gingival margins that matched the gingival zenith and improved patient's smile profile. APE as the etiology of patient's gummy smile can be corrected. There are no post-surgical complications such as excessive pain and infection. A proper diagnosis, treatment plan, and good techniques can produce a harmonious smile on the patient.
