Dentigerous cysts (DCs) are odontogenic cysts typically associated with the crowns of unerupted or impacted teeth and are usually discovered when they reach large sizes or get infected. Although common in adults, their occurrence in children are rare. Most cases in children are incidentally discovered on routine radiographic examination of infected deciduous molars. Treatment methods vary based on the size and extend of the lesion, with enucleation and marsupialization being the commonly employed approaches. Despite the variation in techniques, the overall prognosis and treatment outcomes are generally favorable. This case report describes the successful conservative management of a mandibular DC in an 8-year-old female through marsupialization in conjunction with a custom-made acrylic obturator.
含牙囊肿（DCs）是一种牙源性囊肿，通常与未萌出或阻生牙的牙冠相关，通常在囊肿变大或感染时才被发现。虽然在成年人中很常见，但在儿童中发生的情况很少见。儿童的大多数病例是在对感染的乳牙进行常规影像学检查时偶然发现的。治疗方法因病变的大小和范围而异，摘除术和袋形术是常用的方法。尽管技术有所不同，但总体预后和治疗效果通常较好。本病例报告描述了一名8岁女性下颌含牙囊肿通过袋形术结合定制丙烯酸阻塞器成功进行保守治疗的过程。
