Abstract

Background: Dentigerous cysts are slow-growing, asymptomatic lesions that typically form around the crowns of impacted teeth. They are not detected until they start to harm the tissues around the teeth. Aim: The present study aimed to describe surgical techniques for treating dentigerous cysts associated with ectopic teeth. Cases: Three patients with dentigerous cysts associated with ectopic teeth, their surgical approaches, and the supporting literature are presented herein. In two cases, the surgical technique used was intra-oral, and in one case was extra-oral. Under general anesthesia, dentigerous cyst enucleation and ectopic tooth removal were carried out. Discussion: In the present study, the ectopic tooth cases were all linked to dentigerous cysts. Enucleation or marsupialization treatments could be used to treat dentigerous cysts. Enucleation with the removal of the impacted tooth is the preferred treatment for dentigerous cysts. Conclusion: To perform minimally invasive surgery, the position of the ectopic teeth, the accessibility of the surgical site, the degree of bone reduction, and the simplicity of instrumentation should all be considered.
