Abstract :
Most common developmental odontogenic cysts are dentigerous cysts.
They are usually derived from the epithelial remnants of tooth forming
organs. Dentigerous cysts gradually increase in size. There may also be
associated with bone resorption. Developmental odontogenic cysts account
for 25% of all odontogenic cysts of the jaw. They are commonly associated
with impacted or embedded teeth like mandibular/maxillary third molar and
maxillary canines. It is always better to manage dentigerous cyst
conservatively and thereby maintain the vitality of adjacent structures.
