Prakash vijayan Email: [email protected] Abstract: Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) formerly known as odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), is considered a benign unicystic or multicystic intraosseous neoplasm and one of the most aggressive odontogenic lesions presenting relatively high recurrence rate and a tendency to invade adjacent tissue. On the other hand Dentigerous cyst (DC) is one of the most common odontogenic cysts of the jaws and rarely recurs. They were very similar in clinical and radiographic characteristics. In our case a pathological report following incisional biopsy turned out to be dentigerous cyst and later as Keratocystic odontogenic tumour following total excision. The treatment was chosen in order to prevent any pathological fracture. A recurrence was noticed after 2 months following which the lesion was surgically enucleated. At 2-years of follow-up, patient showed no recurrence.

We present an unusual radiographic feature of dentigerous cyst related to the impacted mandibular right second molar, in a 16-year-old patient, which suggested an ameloblastoma or odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) because of its multilocular appearance seen on the panoramic radiography. A multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT), however, revealed a unilocular lesion without septations, with an attenuation coefficient from 3.9 to 22.9 HU suggesting a cystic lesion. Due to its extension, a marsupialization was performed together with the histopathological analysis of the fragment removed which suggested a dentigerous cyst. Nine months later, the lesion was reduced in size and then totally excised. The impacted mandibular right second molar was also extracted. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst. One year later, the panoramic radiography showed a complete mandible bone healing. Large dentigerous cysts can sometimes suggest other more aggressive pathologies.

  • Occurence of Lesions, Abnormalities and Dentomaxillofacial Changes Observed in 1937 Digital Panoramic Radiography
    Occurence of lesions, abnormalities and dentomaxillofacial changes observed in 1937 digital panoramic radiography Ocorrência de lesões, anomalias e alterações dento-maxilo-facial observados em 1937 radiografias panorâmicas digitais. Felipe Paes Varoli2, Luiza Verônica Warmling1, Karina Cecília Panelli Santos1, Jefferson Xavier Oliveira1 School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, São Paulo-SP, Brazil; School of Dentistry, University Paulista, São Paulo-SP, Brazil Abstract Objective – Radiographic examination is the most affordable and widely used complementary examination in dentistry. Recently, tech- niques for digital panoramic radiography have been developed. Methods – A total of 1937 panoramic radiographies were evaluated in this study, the female group has accounted for the most of the sample: 1090 (56.3%) in comparison to 847 (43.7%) men. The patients were not identified, and data have only included gender, age, main injuries, anomalies and alterations at maxillofacial region or adjacent structures. Unusual injuries or doubtful diagnosis were excluded. Results – The most common injuries and alterations that were found in this study were teeth absence / anodontia, extrusion / inclination / migration / transposition / rotation, image suggestive of carious lesions and periapical lesions. The injuries and anomalies less common were condyle alteration, hypercementosis, mandible fracture, odontoma, dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, periapical cement osseous dysplasia, foreign body, cleft palate and surgical fixation. Conclusions – Digital panoramic radiography is of the great value for lesions and anomalies diagnosis, as a complement of clinical prac- tice. This study reports as the most common alterations teeth absence / anodontia, teeth extrusion / inclination / migration/ transposition/ rotation, image suggestive of carious lesions and periapical lesions, which were predominant in the female group.

  • The Diagnosis and Surgical Removal of a Dentigerous Cyst
    The Diagnosis and Surgical Removal of a Dentigerous Cyst Associated with an Unerupted Mandibular Left First Premolar in a Shih Tzu Brett Beckman, DVM, FAVD, DAVDC, DAAPM Affiliated Veterinary Specialists, Orlando, Florida Florida Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Punta Gorda, Florida Animal Emergency Center of Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA www.veterinarydentistry.net [email protected] Introduction Dentigerous cysts arise from odontogenic epithelium associated with an unerupted adult tooth. (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) Gingival changes associated with these cysts can be minimal to non- existent. Without adequate assessment of edentulous areas conditions that result in patient discomfort and tissue destruction may go undetected. This case report describes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a dentigerous cyst associated with a seemingly missing mandibular left first premolar (305) with minimal visible gross gingival pathology. History: A three year old, male neutered, Shih Tzu weighing 8 kg presented for an annual examination in March 2002. No prior oral care had been provided by the owner. Dental cleaning had never been performed. Diagnostics: Physical examination of the patient was within normal limits. Oral examination revealed a gingivitis index of II, a calculus index of II, and a plaque index of II.(9) There was a marked distolingual rotation of the maxillary right (106) and left (206) second premolar teeth and the maxillary right (107) and left (207) third premolar teeth. Lingual displacement of the mandibular left (302) and right (402) second incisor teeth was noted. The patient was missing the mandibular left first (305) and second (306) premolar teeth and the mandibular right second premolar tooth (406).

  • Bilateral Mandibular Dentigerous Cysts: a Case Report
    http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1981-8637201400030000010641 CLÍNICO | CLINICAL Bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts: a case report Cisto dentígero bilateral em mandíbula: relato de caso Hécio Henrique Araújo de MORAIS1 Tasiana Guedes de Souza DIAS2 Ricardo José de Holanda VASCONCELLOS3 Belmiro Cavalcanti do Egito VASCONCELOS3 Auremir Rocha MELO3 David Alencar GONDIM3 Ricardo Wathson Feitosa de CARVALHO3 ABSTRACT Dentigerous cysts are frequently found in the maxilla. After radicular cysts, dentigerous cysts are those most commonly diagnosed, accounting for 20% of all jaw cysts. They are often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during routine examinations. Clinical complications such as dental displacement, ectopic eruption, dental impaction, adjacent tooth root resorption, cortical expansion with facial asymmetry, paresthesia, pathological fracture, and even malignant transformation may occur. Despite these classical features, definitive diagnosis must always be based on histological examination. Most dentigerous cysts are solitary. The aim of this article is to report a case of bilateral mandibular dentigerous cysts in a non-syndromic patient and, through a literature review, present the available treatment modalities used successfully in this case. Indexing terms: Dentigerous cyst. Mandible. Odontogenic cyst. RESUMO Os cistos são frequentemente encontrados nos maxilares. Depois dos cistos radiculares, os cistos dentígeros são os mais comumente diagnosticados, constituindo cerca de 20% de todos os cistos maxilo-mandibulares. Frequentemente apresentam-se de indolores, sendo achados em exames de rotina. Complicações clínicas como deslocamentos de dentes, erupções ectópicas, impacções dentárias, reabsorção das raízes dos dentes adjacentes, expansão da cortical gerando assimetria facial, parestesia e fratura patológica podem ocorrer advinda à presença dessa afecção. Apesar das características clássicas, o diagnóstico definitivo deve sempre ser baseado através do exame histopatológico.

  • Bilateral Dentigerous Cysts in a Non-Syndromic Patient: Literature Review and Report of a Case
    Case Report Bilateral Dentigerous Cysts in a Non-Syndromic Patient: Literature Review and Report of a Case M. Mehdizadeh 1, S. Hajisadeghi 2, A. Lotfi 3. 1 Associate Professor, Dental and Oral Research Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom, Iran 2 Assistant Professor, Dental and Oral Research Center, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine, School of Dentistry, Qom University of Medical Sciences, Qom, Iran 3 Assistant Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, School of Dentistry, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Abstract Introduction: Dentigerous cysts (DCs) are the most common developmental cysts of the jaws, mostly associated with impacted third molars and canines. Multiple or bilateral DCs are rare and typically occur in association with some syndromes including cleidocranial dysplasia and Gorlin-Goltz. The occurrence of multiple DCs is rare in the absence of these syndromes. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male was referred for pain and mobility of the left mandibular second molar. On radiological examination, follicular enlargement in relation to the unerupted third molar was found. Another unilocular radiolucent area was seen in relation to the right-side unerupted third molar. A provisional diagnosis of multiple odontogenic keratocysts was made; however, the histopathological studies revealed DC on both sides. The patient’s medical history was non-significant, and no associated syndromes were present. Bilateral DCs are rare in the absence of a syndrome, and to date, only 53 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report the unusual bilateral occurrence of DCs associated with unerupted mandibular third molars in a non-syndromic patient with a review of the literature for this unusual finding.

It is the most common type of oral SCC, which accounts for over 75% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity. Clinically, it is more common in men over 55 years of age, heavy smokers and heavy drinkers, more in males especially black males. However, it has been described in young white males, under the age of fifty non-smokers and non-drinkers. The latter group constitutes less than 5% of the patients and their SCCs tend to be in the posterior mouth (oropharynx and tosillar area) associated with HPV infection especially HPV type 16. The most common sites for the tobacco-associated are the lateral and ventral tongue, followed by the floor of mouth and soft palate area.
