ABSTRACT

Dentigerous or follicular cysts are one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cyst. A dentigerous cyst is one that encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth by expansion of its follicle and is attached to the neck of the tooth and it is usually associated with any of the unerupted tooth. It is also been reported that progressing inflammation from the root apex of the primary tooth brings about the development of the dentigerous cyst around the unerupted permanent tooth. One such rare case of inflammatory dentigerous cyst (IDC) in right mandibular premolar region in a 9 year old is presented here, which erupted naturally after marsupialisation of the cyst.
