Dentigerous cysts are the most common type of odontogenic cysts and arise from an unerupted tooth. These cysts have stereotypical radiographic and clinical findings. They can be extremely invasive but rarely present as a life-threatening emergency. This case report describes the stabilization and treatment of a 6-year-old mixed breed dog with a dentigerous cyst with concurrent life-threatening hemorrhage. The dog presented with severe oral hemorrhage from the mandibular artery and required multiple blood transfusions. It was ultimately diagnosed with a dentigerous cyst. Complications from dental issues and potential life-threatening complications, such as this case, can be prevented by routine annual oral examination and full mouth dental radiographs if an unerupted tooth is suspected.
含牙囊肿是最常见的牙源性囊肿，来源于未萌出牙。这些囊肿具有典型的影像学和临床表现。它们可能具有极强的侵袭性，但很少出现危及生命的紧急情况。本病例报告描述了一例 6 岁杂种犬患含牙囊肿合并危及生命性出血的稳定和治疗过程。该犬因下颌动脉严重口腔出血就诊，需要多次输血。最终诊断为含牙囊肿。如果怀疑有未萌出牙，可以通过常规的年度口腔检查和全口牙齿 X 光片来预防因牙齿问题引起的并发症和潜在的危及生命的并发症，如本例。
