Maxillary Dentigerous Cysts; A Report of Three Cases

Abstract

Specific therapy for dentigerous cyst includes initial extraction of the affected tooth. However, we tried to treat the cyst surgically without initial tooth extraction in 3 cases. In a 27-year-old female and a 45-year-old male, we performed surgery on the cysts while preserving the dental roots. In another 47-year old male, a tooth that was buried in the cyst was removed simultaneously during surgery on the cyst.
No relapse was repo rted in the 3 cases and the post operative courses have been good.
