Dentigerous cysts are the most common bony lesions of the jaws in children. It is one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts associated with an erupted or developing tooth, particularly the mandibular third molars; the other teeth that are commonly affected are, in order of frequency, the maxillary canines, the maxillary third molars, and rarely the central incisors. Radiographically, the cyst appears as ovoid well-demarcated unilocular radiolucency with a sclerotic border. Careful evaluation of the history and the clinical and radiographical findings help clinicians to currently diagnose the condition, identify the etiological factors, and administer the appropriate treatment.
含牙囊肿是儿童颌骨最常见的骨病变。它是与已萌出或正在发育的牙齿相关的最常见的牙源性囊肿类型之一，尤其是下颌第三磨牙；其他常见受累牙齿按频率依次为上颌尖牙、上颌第三磨牙，很少累及中切牙。在影像学上，囊肿表现为边界清晰的椭圆形单房透射区，有硬化边缘。仔细评估病史以及临床和影像学检查结果有助于临床医生目前诊断病情、确定病因并进行适当治疗。
