Dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst, which apparently develops by accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and the tooth crown of an unerupted tooth. There is usually no pain or discomfort associated with the cyst unless there is acute inflammatory exacerbation. Management of dentigerous cyst in primary dentition needs special consideration regarding the preservation of the developing permanent tooth buds. Here, we report a case of dentigerous cyst in primary dentition in a 10-year-old male patient and its management.
含牙囊肿是一种发育性牙源性囊肿，显然是由于未萌出牙的釉质上皮缩余和牙冠之间液体的积聚而形成。通常囊肿不会引起疼痛或不适，除非发生急性炎症加重。乳牙列含牙囊肿的治疗需要特别考虑对正在发育的恒牙胚的保护。在此，我们报告一例10岁男性患者乳牙列含牙囊肿及其治疗情况。
