This paper describes the case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with an asymptomatic large unilateral dentigerous cyst related to an unerupted 6. It was marsupialized under general anaesthetic, and subsequently resolved rapidly. The pathogenesis and aetiology of dentigerous cysts is discussed, together with alternative treatment modalities. This paper illustrates that a conservative surgical approach to the management of a dentigerous cyst in a child can be very successful. By preserving the associated permanent tooth, marsupialization minimizes any disruption to future dental development.
本文描述了一名6岁男孩的病例，该男孩出现了一个与未萌出的6号牙相关的无症状单侧大型含牙囊肿。在全身麻醉下对其进行了袋形术，随后囊肿迅速消退。文中讨论了含牙囊肿的发病机制和病因，以及其他治疗方式。本文表明，对于儿童含牙囊肿采用保守手术方法可能非常成功。通过保留相关的恒牙，袋形术可将对未来牙齿发育的任何干扰降至最低。
