    A dentigerous cyst is a cyst that forms around the crown of an unerupted tooth in the jawbone, most commonly involving the wisdom teeth. It is caused by the accumulation of fluid between the enamel of the tooth and the jawbone, which is irritated by the impacted tooth. On an x-ray, a dentigerous cyst appears as a well-defined radiolucency around the crown of an impacted tooth. Small cysts can be removed surgically, while larger cysts are often treated with marsupialization to drain the fluid and allow the cyst to shrink over time.

    2019 batch
    • Lower jaw(mandible) in women 30-40 yrs
    • Unerupted ,permanent,molar tooth,most
    commonly upper or lower third molar tooth
    unerupted tooth
    | Irritates the cells
    Produce degeneration of cells
    |
    Dentigerous cyst
    • Cyst lined by squamous epithelium, surrounded
    by connective tissue
    • Within the cyst  tooth lies obliquely or
     embedded in cyst wall
    • As it grows further,cyst displaces the tooth
    Tooth deeper and prevented from eruption
    Clinical features
    • Absence of tooth
    • Expansion of mandible
    Bone thinned outegg-shell crackling
    Diagnosis
    X-ray mandible orthopantomogram(OPG)
    1. Tooth in the cyst
    2. Soap-bubble appearance
    3. Radiolucent well defined swelling
    Treatment
    • Small cyst-excision of cyst by intraoral approach
    • Large cyst-marsupialisation.
    (removes cystsOnce the cyst has been
    opened and drained, the edges are sutured together to form a
    permanently open “pocket” or “pouch” that allows fluid to
    drain easily)
    THANK YOU 😊
