Dentigerous cysts form from accumulation of fluid between reduced enamel epithelium and the crown of an unerupted tooth. They cause several difficulties such as swelling, non-eruption of the involved teeth, and displacement of adjacent teeth, and thus require early detection and prompt treatment. Treatment ranges from marsupialisation to enucleation. Enucleation is rarely used in children compared with marsupialisation. This paper discusses successful use of enucleation for treating a dentigerous cyst and explains the need for such a radical procedure.
含牙囊肿由缩余釉上皮与未萌出牙冠之间的液体聚集形成。它们会引发多种问题，如肿胀、受累牙齿无法萌出以及邻牙移位，因此需要早期发现并及时治疗。治疗方法包括袋形术和摘除术。与袋形术相比，摘除术在儿童中很少使用。本文讨论了成功使用摘除术治疗含牙囊肿的案例，并解释了采取这种根治性手术的必要性。
