Massive,Destructive,Dentigerous Cyst: A Case Report

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are relatively common odontogenic abnormalities that develop around unerupted maxillary or mandibular teeth. These are often asymptomatic and found incidentally on dental radiographs. Occasionally, they can be large and cause symptoms related to expansion and impingement on contiguous structures. Herein we present the first reported case to our knowledge of a maxillary dentigerous cyst presenting as a bleeding intraoral mass with associated extensive maxillary destruction.
