Dentigerous Cyst Associated with Ectopic Canine of the Maxilla: A Case Report
Dentigerous Cyst Associated with Ectopic Canine of the Maxilla: A Case Report
Dentigerous cysts(DC) are the second most common odontogenic cysts affecting the jaw bone that are associated with the
crowns of permanent unerrupted teeth; mostly single in occurrence and located in the mandible. DC is more usually seen with
mandibular third molar and maxillary canine and seldom other teeth are involved. Dentigerous cysts remain asymptomatic and
are generally diagnosed incidentally during the routine radiological examination. Enucleation is the standard treatment. In this
report, large dentigerous cyst associated with the ectopic canine of the maxilla are presented.
