Q

Dentigerous cyst

Origin and location
Development
Specific symptoms (3)
Types (3)

A

Commonest type of developmental cyst formed by fluid accumulation between crown and REE of impacted teeth

Usually 3rd molars or Max canines, males, 10-30

  1. Teeth fail to erupt so REE persists
  2. Fluid accumulates over crown and REE forms epithelial lining

Root resorption of adjacent teeth, displacement, discharge

  • central variety
  • lateral variety
  • circumferential variety
