[PMID: 39044217 PMCID: PMC11264404 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04607-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dentigerous cysts, deemed of developmental origin, are benign odontogenic cysts characterized by a gradual growth rate. Their occurrence is twice as prevalent in men compared to women. These cysts are recognized as the most frequent developmental cysts affecting the jaws, with a typical manifestation in individuals aged 20 to 40, while infrequently identified in young children. Notably, dentigerous cysts have the potential to attain significant dimensions, resulting in painless enlargement of the jaw and subsequent deformation. OBJECTIVES To assess the clinicopathological features and management of ten years of experience with dentigerous cysts. METHODS A challenging cases were reported from reviewed records of the patients who were treated by the surgical intervention of various dentigerous cysts throughout the period of ten years, 2012-2022 and only histologically confirmed cases were selected, at Ramadi Teaching Hospital in addition to Rashid, Razi, Zuhur Private Hospitals and private clinics in Iraq. RESULTS 76 patients were included in this clinicopathological research. The highest age group affected was ≤ 18 years (68.4%), 54% were male, the mandible was more affected (63.1%) than the maxilla (36.9%). Marsupialization was applied to 30.3% of the cases, while enucleation was carried out in 69.7%. CONCLUSIONS The significance of meticulous examination of radiographs and the consequences associated with undetected and untreated ailments is affirmed by this case study. A comprehensive understanding of oral pathology serves as a valuable resource for dentists, facilitating accurate diagnosis, appropriate referrals, and the provision of anticipatory guidance to patients striving to achieve optimal oral health across various age groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the relative frequency, demographic and pathologic profiles of patients diagnosed with cysts of the jaws. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy records of the participating institutions from 2000 to 2020 were reviewed for lesions diagnosed in the cyst category. Demographic data, the location of the cysts and pathologic diagnoses were collected. Data were analyzed by appropriate statistics using IBM SPSS software version 28.0. RESULTS From 148,353 accessioned cases, 25,628 cases (17.28%) were diagnosed in the cyst category. Mean age of the patients ± SD = 42.62 ± 19.36 years. Paediatric patients (aged ≤ 16 years) accounted for 9.63%, while geriatric patients (aged ≥ 65) comprised 14.22% of all the patients. The male-to-female ratio was 1.27:1. The majority of the lesions were encountered in the mandible. The most prevalent cyst was radicular cyst followed by dentigerous cyst and odontogenic keratocyst. In the paediatric group, dentigerous cyst was the most prevalent, whereas in the geriatric group, radicular cyst was the most common. CONCLUSIONS In general, the results of this study are in accordance with previous studies. This study provides an invaluable database for clinicians when formulating clinical differential diagnoses as well as for pathologists in rendering the final diagnosis.

Abstract
Hunter syndrome (MPS II), an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder, is a result of deficiency of the iduronate 2-sulfatase enzyme (IDS), leading to cognitive impairment, systemic organ involvement, and increased dental problems. This case report describes the management of a child with Hunter syndrome who was referred to the Department of Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry for pain in the upper front teeth. Intraoral examination revealed severe early childhood caries, prompting planning for full-mouth rehabilitation under general anaesthesia due to the child's uncooperative behaviour. In response to recommendations from the Department of Otolaryngology and the Department of Paediatric Surgery, a comprehensive treatment plan consolidated full-mouth rehabilitation in addition to adenoidectomy and inguinal and umbilical herniotomy procedures during a single session of general anaesthesia. Successful interventions were reflected in the uneventful one-month follow-up of the patient, highlighting the efficacy of the interdisciplinary approach. The key takeaway underscores the importance of collaborative interventions, emphasising singular intubation for patients requiring recurrent hospitalisations, providing both monetary relief and reducing post operative healing time. Designed to address global developmental delay in the child, a personalised home care plan was also implemented. Evaluation of plaque and gingival indices before and after the home care regimen demonstrated a notable improvement, indicating an enhanced oral quality of life.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are known as the second most common type of cyst in the jaws. The cyst is one of the lesions occurred frequently in the posterior body of the mandible and is often related to the unerupted third molar and forms around the crown of the unerupted tooth attaching at the cementoenamel junction. Such characteristic appearances are the diagnostic points differentiating from ameloblastoma or odontogenic keratocyst. However, it would be hard for us to diagnose it as a dentigerous cyst if the lesion does not show its typical appearance. We experienced two cases of dentigerous cysts which did not form around the crown of the unerupted tooth on radiologically. Both cysts were relatively large and resorbed adjacent teeth roots. Therefore, an ameloblastoma or an odontogenic keratocyst was suspected rather than a dentigerous cyst as the imaging diagnosis. The biopsy revealed that the lesion was a "dentigerous cyst" in one of the cases and "developmental cyst with inflammation" in another case. After the excision, the histopathological diagnosis was a dentigerous cyst with inflammation in both cases. This report shows the two cases of dentigerous cysts focusing on panoramic radiography and CT images. Also, we discuss the differential diagnosis by reconsidering those diagnostic points.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this retrospective study is to compare dentigerous cysts and odontogenic keratocysts for cytoplasmic activation/proliferation - associated protein-1 antibodies via immunohistochemical staining to obtain a new perspective about the specific behavioural characteristics of odontogenic keratocysts at the molecular level. Material and Methods Forty dentigerous cysts (DC) and forty odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) tissue samples were examined using immunohistochemical staining to detect cytoplasmic activation/proliferation - associated protein-1 (CAPRIN-1) antibodies. Nuclear and/or cytoplasmic staining was evaluated as "positive". Cell staining rate (%) and cell staining intensity were determined, and a staining intensity distribution (SID) score was calculated for each sample. Cases were considered "negative" if they showed no staining for CAPRIN-1 antibodies, thus were given a SID score of zero. According to the SID scores, the expression levels were rated as negative, mild, moderate, or high. Results Of 80 samples, 16 that could adversely affect immunohistochemical evaluation were excluded. Ten negative, 21 positive and three negative, 30 positive CAPRIN-1 expressions were observed in DC and OKC groups, respectively. The difference between the negative and positive cases within groups was significant only in the OKC group (P = 0.000). The SID score range and mean were 0 to 160 and 31.1 (SD 35.7) for DC and 0 to 160 and 57.3 (SD 42.3) for OKC groups. CAPRIN-1 expression was significantly higher in the OKC group (P = 0.043). Conclusions The molecular basis for increased mitotic activity, high recurrence rates or presence of satellite cysts in odontogenic keratocysts may be attributed to the expression of cytoplasmic activation/proliferation - associated protein-1.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to investigate the morphological changes that occur when mesiodens is located within the nasopalatine canal, as well as clinical characteristics. METHODS Clinical records and CT images of patients who had mesiodens in the nasopalatine canal were retrospectively analysed. In addition to demographic information, clinical symptoms and complications associated with extraction of mesiodens were recorded. Using CT images, number, location, size, and tooth morphology were evaluated. RESULTS This study included 32 patients and 38 mesiodens within the nasopalatine canal. Supernumerary teeth exhibited a characteristic feature of thin and elongated shape in the canal (narrow width and elongation were observed in 96.6% and 53.3% of the patients, respectively). Fusion was found in 4 patients and dilaceration in 12. A complication occurred in 2 patients, which was tooth remnant, not a neurologic complication. Only 5 mesiodens could be detected in the nasopalatine canal on panoramic images. CONCLUSIONS Morphological abnormalities in mesiodens within the nasopalatine canal were frequently detected, and these could be effectively diagnosed through 3D imaging analysis.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to review the clinical, radiologic, and histologic aspects of cases of dentigerous cysts metamorphosing into different entities along with comments on the molecular factors involved in the process. A series comprising 8 cases of dentigerous cysts was performed retrospectively along with a comprehensive literature review. Two cases of dentigerous cyst converting into mucous metaplasia were included, out of which one case was transformed into ameloblastoma after a year. The other two cases were reported as acanthomatous and unicystic ameloblastoma, whereas four transitioned to AOT. The complete review of cases and literature with molecular profiling concluded that the lining of dentigerous cysts has the potential for transforming into benign odontogenic tumors. Therefore, a careful clinical and histopathological examination is crucial for the correct diagnosis. Also, a thorough molecular understanding of the cystic lining is required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE The association between Dentigerous cysts (DCs) and Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (GGS) was claimed theoretically in a very few reports, with very few clinical foundations. The aim of this report was to present a unique case of multiple DCs in the mandible in a patient showing features of GGS. CASE PRESENTATION A 63-year-old male patient presented with multiple cyst-like lesions in the mandible associated with some clinical and radiological features of GGS, and that raised the suspension of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC). The patient underwent marsupialization and enucleation of these cysts, and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of DCs. CLINICAL DISCUSSION In this report, the patient presented with symptoms related to multiple unilocular radiolucent lesions found in the mandible and the clinical and radiological features were highly suggestive of OKCs associated with GGS. However, the perioperative findings raised the suspicion of DCs, which was confirmed by histopathology. Interestingly, GGS is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder arising from mutations in the patched tumor suppressor gene (PTCH). Previous studies showed this gene alteration in DCs; this can possibly be implicated in the pathogenesis of the association found in this report. CONCLUSION This report presented a case of bilateral DC in the mandible in a patient showing features of GGS. Therefore, this report verified the very rare association between DC and GGS. This may help dentists and physicians in reaching an accurate and early diagnosis of GGS.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts involves erupted or developing teeth in decreasing order of frequency as mandibular third molars, the maxillary canines, the maxillary third molars with rare involvement of the central incisors & are usually asymptomatic but becomes symptomatic with symptoms such as swelling, mild sensitivity, tooth mobility and displacement when it reaches size > 2 cm in diameter. Dentigerous cysts are seen most commonly in 20-30 years age group with relative low frequency in children with proportion of 4-9% of these cysts occur in the first 10 years after birth. Hospital based study conducted in the Department of ENT at Ashwini Rural medical college & Hospital, Solapur in which we have reported a series of three cases of dentigerous cyst in paediatric patients. Dentigerous Cysts in our study were associated with maxillary permanent lateral incisor, mandibular permanent premolar, Mandibular second molar tooth in pediatric age group. Provisional diagnosis of Dentigerous cyst based on clinical, radiological & biochemical study but Histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis. Dental orthopentamogram aids in diagnosing and localizing the Dentigerous cyst and ct face in all views helps to see bony effects and complications due to expansion of Dentigerous cyst. Enucleation of the cystic lesion followed by extraction of the offending teeth is a suitable treatment modality for Dentigerous cyst associated with maxilla and mandible giving adequate balance between complete removal of cyst & giving chance for eruption of unerupted teeth.

Abstract
Background The occurrence of hybrid odontogenic lesions with two or more morphologically distinct components is a rare phenomenon and poses a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to study the clinical, radiological, and pathological features and behavior of hybrid odontogenic lesions, to enhance awareness about these rare lesions. Method Hematoxylin and Eosin slides of hybrid odontogenic lesions diagnosed between January 01, 2012 and December 31, 2020, were reviewed. Demographic and radiological information were obtained from the patient's medical records. Results 8 cases were diagnosed with a mean age of 19.1 years and male to female ratio of 1:1.7. Involvement of mandible was more common (n = 5) as compared to maxilla (n = 3). All patients presented with swelling for an average of 9.75 months (3-25 months) duration. Bleeding, loose teeth, pain and facial asymmetry were reported in 5,3, 3, and 2 cases, respectively. Radiologically, 7 cases were well demarcated, 75% cases (n = 6) were radiolucent, and average radiological size was 4.8 cm. All patients were managed with surgery alone. 5 cases (62.5%) underwent enucleation and curettage, while local excision, en-block resection and segmental mandibulectomy were performed in 1 case each. Histologically, ossifying fibroma/cemento-ossifyiong fibroma were the most lesion, occurring in 5 cases (62%), followed by giant cell granuloma like lesions (GCG) i.e., central and peripheral giant cell granuloma (n = 3), Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor (AOT) (n = 2), and DC (n = 2), ameloblastic fibroma (AF) (n = 1), Ameloblastoma (n = 1), calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) (n = 1), and complex odontoma (n = 1). No evidence of recurrence was noted after 4-99 months of surgery (mean: 32.9) in cases with available data (n = 7). Long-term complaints included facial asymmetry (n = 2) and pain (n = 1). Conclusion Most hybrid odontogenic lesions affect young females in the second decade of life and commonly show COF and OF as hybrid components. A conservative approach to management appears adequate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic lesions of the gnathic bones present challenges in differential diagnosis. This category includes a smorgasbord of odontogenic and non-odontogenic entities that may be reactive or neoplastic in nature. While most cystic jaw lesions are benign, variability in biologic behavior makes distinction between these entities absolutely crucial. METHODS Review. RESULTS Two clinical cases are presented in parallel and are followed by an illustrated discussion of the ten most likely differential diagnoses that should be considered when confronted with a cystic jaw lesion. Strong emphasis is placed on the histologic differences between these entities, empowering readers to diagnose them with confidence. Perhaps even more importantly, the more common diagnostic pitfalls in gnathic pathology are discussed, recognizing that a definitive diagnosis cannot be rendered in every situation. The histologic diagnoses for the two clinical cases are finally revealed. CONCLUSION Cystic lesions of the maxilla and mandible may be odontogenic or non-odontogenic. The most common cystic lesions are the reactive periapical cyst, and the dentigerous cyst (which is developmental in nature). It is important to note that cystic neoplasms also occur in the jaws, and that the presence of inflammation may obscure the diagnostic histologic features of lesions like odontogenic keratocyst and unicystic ameloblastoma. Ancillary testing is of limited diagnostic value in most scenarios. However, both clinical and radiographic information (such as the location, size, duration, associated symptoms, and morphology of the lesion in its natural habitat) are significantly useful.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of the MRI and CT results to the differential diagnosis of histopathologically different odontogenic cysts. BACKGROUND Odontogenic cysts are commonly seen in the jaw bone and their surgical operations have an important place in the practice of maxillofacial surgery; treatment options for these cysts differ according to their histopathology. Differential results that can be obtained from the radiological evaluations of different cyst groups will allow the surgeon to plan a more accurate approach at the beginning of the operation. In this study, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results of different cyst groups were interpreted together with their histopathological diagnosis. METHODS CT and MRI results of 17 patients aged between 19-61 were evaluated, whose histopathological diagnosis consisted of 3 radicular cysts (RC), a total of 9 odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) of which 4 were inflamed, and a total of 5 dentigerous cysts (DC) of which one of them was inflammatory. RESULTS In the CT scan, all cysts showed lytic, a sclerotic surrounding, and showed MRI peripheral enhancement, whereas solid nodular enhancement was only observed in OKCs. Edema and/or air in the surrounding bone medulla was observed in the infected lesions. OKC was heterogeneous, whereas RC and DC were more homogeneous. Diffusion restriction was observed to be frequent in OKCs. The OKCs were ellipsoidal in appearance and were located parallel to the long axis of the bone, and their dimensions were observed to be larger than the other cysts. OKCs may be accompanied by unerupted teeth. Radicular cysts were located perpendicular to the long axis of the bone and were globular in appearance, and their dimensions were smaller and more homogeneous compared to the OKCs. Dentigerous cysts are also accompanied by an unerupted tooth, and their peripheral enhancement is minimal and homogeneous. However, dentigerous cysts can be dense in content and smaller in size, and ellipsoidal localization is more common than OKCs. CONCLUSION In addition to classic panoramic radiography in the evaluation and differential diagnosis of maxillary and mandibular lesions, CT and MRI evaluations can provide helpful information to the surgeon and pathologist in making the diagnosis and may further help plan the operation.

Abstract
Unicystic ameloblastoma (UAM), a rare variant of ameloblastoma, is an odontogenic epithelial neoplasm typically appearing in the mandible. We report an extremely rare case of maxillary UAM with an impacted canine and supernumerary tooth. The patient was a woman in her late 30s who presented with a slight expansion of the left anterior maxilla due to a cystic lesion with impacted teeth. Under a clinical diagnosis of dentigerous cyst, the cystic lesion was completely enucleated by extracting the impacted teeth. Based on the clinical features and pathological findings, the final diagnosis was intraluminal UAM in the anterior maxilla. In the present case, despite the rarity of UAM with impacted teeth in the anterior maxilla, it should be considered during differential diagnosis. Careful clinical examination is required for diagnostic accuracy since the clinical findings of tooth-containing ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst are very similar.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are a common cystic pathology that develop between the first and third decade of life and are mainly associated with impacted or erupted mandibular third molars followed by maxillary canines and maxillary third molars. These kinds of cysts are the result of the proliferation of enamel epithelium after its formation, the pathogenesis of which is not clear. Few of these cysts have been reported in pediatric patients. The following case report presents the rare occurrence of a dentigerous cyst in a 6-year-old boy and describes the treatment administered.

Abstract
Background: Cystic lesions of the jaw are commonly found in clinical practice. Large, expansive cysts raise challenges for the clinician from both diagnostic and surgical perspectives. The aim of our work is to present a combined, two-staged surgical approach in histologically confirmed non-aggressive cystic lesions of the jaw. Methods and Results: We report the case of an extensive mandibular cyst, associating a high risk of bone fracture, that is treated in the initial stage by cystic decompression through marsupialization with concomitant histological diagnostic confirmation, followed in the second stage by radical excision and mandibular reconstruction with titanium mesh, with the purpose of prevention for oro-cystic chronic fistula formation. Conclusions: Large odontogenic mandibular cysts imply a meticulously conducted assessment and treatment. Marsupialization should be taken into consideration for the treatment of large cystic lesions, followed by secondary enucleation, with minimal risks for the patient. The soft tissue healing process can be optimized with the use of titanium meshes, as an alternative for other reconstructive techniques, in the management of large cystic lesions.

Abstract
Purpose This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence, distribution, and radiological features (as per the Shear classification) of dentigerous cysts in a Lebanese sample. Materials and Methods It was an epidemiological, cross-sectional, 5-year retrospective study of 137 dentigerous cysts treated at Lebanese Army Dental Departments. The collected data comprised demographic and radiological information corresponding to patients from July 2015 to July 2020. Syndromic cases were excluded. Demographic data and the radiological features of cases were studied and analyzed. Results Dentigerous cysts were treated in 109 patients (58.7% males and 41.3% females; mean age: 28.3±16.3 years) out of 6,013 patients (52% males and 48% females), with a prevalence of 1.8%. Dentigerous cysts were more commonly found in patients in their second and third decades of life than in older age groups. Of the 109 patients, 22.9% had multiple dentigerous cysts. Of the 137 cysts, 71.5% were mandibular. The most prevalent anatomical location was the posterior mandible, followed by the posterior maxilla. The most commonly involved tooth was the mandibular third molar. Regarding radiological types, the central type was the most common (60.6%), followed by the lateral type (29.2%), and the circumferential type (10.2%). Conclusion The results of this study were similar to studies of other populations in terms of distribution and features. Multiple non-syndromic dentigerous cysts were more common than reported in other studies, which warrants further clinical studies to reveal previously undetected factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although pathology in the maxillary and mandibular bones is rare in young patients, the differential diagnosis is broad. The World Health Organization (WHO) updated its classification of maxillofacial bone pathology in 2017. Using these updated guidelines, a systematic review of common maxillofacial bone lesions in the pediatric population was performed. METHODS A PubMed search was conducted capturing English language articles from inception to July 2020. Thirty-one articles were identified that described the frequency of maxillofacial bone pathology. Data were extracted and organized using the WHO 2017 classification of odontogenic and maxillofacial bone tumors. Prevalence data were analyzed among diagnostic categories and geographical regions. The SAS version 9.4 was used to complete statistical analyses. RESULTS The articles included patients from birth to a maximum age of 14 to 19 years. The most common odontogenic cysts included radicular cyst (42.7%) and dentigerous cyst (39.0%) followed by odontogenic keratocyst (15.0%). Among odontogenic bone tumors, odontoma (49.3%) was most common followed by ameloblastoma (29.1%). The most common nonodontogenic bone tumor was fibrous dysplasia (42.4%), and the most common malignant bone tumor was osteosarcoma (75.0%). Significant variations were found by geographic region, with dentigerous cyst more common than radicular cyst, and ameloblastoma more common than odontoma in African and Asian countries (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This systematic review uses the WHO 2017 guidelines to classify common odontogenic and nonodontogenic maxillofacial bone lesions around the world. Pathogenesis, presentation, and available treatment options for the most common maxillofacial bone lesions are reviewed.

Abstract
This article reviews odontogenic and developmental oral lesions encountered in the gnathic region of pediatric patients. The process of odontogenesis is discussed as it is essential to understanding the pathogenesis of odontogenic tumors. The clinical presentation, microscopic features, and prognosis are addressed for odontogenic lesions in the neonate (dental lamina cysts/gingival cysts of the newborn, congenital (granular cell) epulis of the newborn, melanotic neuroectodermal tumor, choristoma/heterotopia, cysts of foregut origin), lesions associated with unerupted/erupting teeth (hyperplastic dental follicle, eruption cyst, dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst/keratocystic odonogenic tumor, buccal bifurcation cyst/inflammatory collateral cyst) and pediatric odontogenic hamartomas and tumors (odontoma, ameloblastic fibroma, ameloblastoma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, primordial odontogenic tumor). Pediatric odontogenic and developmental oral lesions range from common to rare, but familiarity with these entities is essential due to the varying management implications of these diagnoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impacted teeth are commonly asymptomatic and not associated with any pathologic lesions for years. Any change in the size of the follicle associated with impacted teeth may result in odontogenic cysts or tumors. CBCT plays an important role in determining the radiographic features of a lesion and therefore, is very helpful for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate radiolucent lesions associated with impacted teeth in terms of age and sex distribution, localization, and comparison with the pathological diagnosis. METHODS In this retrospective study, out of 6758 CBCT images, 400 images revealing radiolucent lesions were detected. The study included only 190 cases (regarding 180 patients) which had a matching histopathological evaluation. Data related to the age and sex of the patients, localization of the lesions, and their comparison with the pathological diagnosis were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS The most encountered lesions were dentigerous cysts (60%) and odontogenic keratocysts (26.3%). Males were the most affected (63.3%). Most of the lesions were found in the left and right posterior mandible and mostly (66.8 %) associated with third molars. Out of 123 radiological diagnoses of dentigerous cyst cases, histopathological diagnoses confirmed 108 cases. Regarding odontogenic keratocyst, histopathological diagnosis confirmed 40 cases out of 48. CONCLUSION Radiological diagnoses of the lesions mostly match with their pathological diagnosis unless their characteristics are changed due to infection. CBCT, as a technique enabling detailed imaging of the involved dental structures, is a helpful instrument for differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Although usually considered to be of developmental origin, dentigerous cysts (DCs) have been reported to form in response to chronic periapical inflammation associated with primary teeth that have necrotic, infected pulps. This article describes the management of a DC associated with tooth 21 in a seven-year-old Caucasian child with a history of multiple TDIs to the primary maxillary incisors. Chronic periapical inflammation associated with a necrotic pulp in tooth 61 was identified as the likely cause of the lesion. Initial conservative management involved marsupialization of the lesion by extracting the necrotic tooth 61. Following significant decompression of the cyst, surgical enucleation was carried out under general anaesthesia and an orthodontic attachment was bonded to the crown of the unerupted tooth 21 to facilitate traction. Histopathological assessment of the enucleated tissue confirmed it to be a DC. Two years after the initial presentation, teeth 21 and 22 had erupted into the oral cavity, improving patient aesthetics. However, the root of tooth 22 was transposed with the crown of the unerupted tooth 23. This case highlights the undesirable sequelae that may occur following delayed and inappropriate management of TDIs.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts (DC) are developmental odontogenic cysts associated with impacted or partially erupted teeth; they can occur at any location of the jaw. Being generally asymptomatic, they are fortuitously discovered when radiographs are taken to investigate a tooth eruption failure. In this report, we present a case of a 10-year-old girl presented with the absence of the right second mandibular premolar and retention of the right second primary molar. After clinical and radiological examinations a preliminary diagnosis of the DC was made and confirmed later histopathologically. The lesion was treated by marsupialization to allow eruption of the affected tooth and followed up for five years with no evidence of recurrence.

Abstract
Although odontogenic lesions have been extensively described and studied, anomalous, challenging cases occasionally come to the attention of the pathologist. Here, we report the clinical and microscopic characteristics of an unusual cystic lesion of odontogenic origin. A 16-year-old male presented with swelling and pain to palpation of the right mandible as well as numbness of the right lower lip. Radiographically, the corresponding lesion was well-defined and radiolucent with internal radiopaque foci. It extended from the right first premolar posteriorly, approaching the angle of the mandible, and involved the mandibular first molar which was impacted and displaced. The second and third right mandibular molars were also impacted and displaced. The patient was treated by excisional biopsy under general anesthesia. The histopathologic examination revealed the presence of multicystic areas lined by a thin, non-keratinizing squamous epithelium that resembled the epithelial lining of a dentigerous cyst. In continuity with the cystic lining, areas of myxoid tissue reminiscent of dental papilla were observed. The myxoid tissue formed structures that were surfaced by an epithelium comprising a basal layer of ameloblast-like cells with reverse polarity of the nuclei. Above the basilar cells, additional layers of epithelial cells composed a structure resembling the enamel organ. Subjacent to the basilar ameloblast-like cells, a condensation of mesenchymal cells with polarized nuclei opposite to the ameloblast-like cells was present. These mesenchymal cells resembled odontoblasts. In addition, numerous mineralized structures amongst the odontogenic epithelial tissue were present. To date, the patient remains well and without evidence of recurrence after 36 months of follow-up.

Abstract
Purpose Dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cysts which apparently develops via accumulation of fluid between the reduced enamel epithelium and crown of the tooth. The aim of this study is to analyze the frequency of DC in Iranian population. Materials and Methods The files of oral pathology, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, served as the source of the materials from 1992 to 2012 for this study. All lesions diagnosed as DCs were subjected to microscopic reevaluation. Patient's age, sex, location, and microscopic characteristics were recorded. Based on these data, a descriptive statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 19 software (IBM SPSS Statistics 19, New York, United States) and the results with P < 0.05 were considered as significant. Results DC accounted for 34.37% of all odontogenic cysts of the jaws during the 20-year period. The mean age of patients was 24.72 years and most cases are diagnosed in the second and third decades of life. The male-to-female ratio was 1.52. About 73.89% of all lesions had occurred in the mandible and 26.11% in maxilla. DCs showed Vickers and Gorlin (ameloblastomatous) changes in 2.36% of cases. The mean age was significantly lower in the premolar area (P = 0.00). Conclusion Age, sex, and location of DCs in Iranian population are similar to previous studies. In addition, the age of occurrence for this lesion in the premolar region was relatively lower than at other sites. Although the risk of ameloblastic change is low, it should be considered as an important issue.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that develop around the crowns of permanent teeth and are considered rare in children. This article reports a case of a 10-year-old girl with an inflammatory dentigerous cyst associated with the right mandibular premolar and deeply displacing it to the lower border of the mandible. To preserve the developing mandibular premolar and the mental nerve, marsupialization of the lesion under local anesthesia was performed. During the first month postoperatively, the impacted premolar naturally started to correct its position towards the normal path of eruption. After 13 months of follow-up, full spontaneous eruption of the impacted premolar with complete resolution of the cystic lesion, new bone formation, and closure of the root apex were observed. The use of marsupialization as a first-line approach is encouraged to treat dentigerous cysts in children, as it has been reported effective in terms of conservative management.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts (DC) are cystic lesions radiographically represented by a well-defined unilocular radiolucent area involving an impacted tooth crown. 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. Precise diagnosis is important to avoid mistakes since DC, OKC and ameloblastoma require different treatments. Histological examination is, therefore, essential to establish a definitive diagnosis. In our case, MSCT and the tissue attenuation coefficient analysis contributed to guide the diagnosis and management of the dentigerous cyst.

Abstract
Dentigerous cyst (DC) is the second most common type of odontogenic cyst. It is thought to have a developmental origin, arising from an anomaly in the reduced dental epithelium. Rarely seen in early childhood, DC is mostly prevalent among people aged between 20 and 40. The most common location of DC is the mandibular third molar, more rarely occurring in the maxillary sinus. Enucleation is the standard treatment. Herein, we report an 11-year-old boy with DC that developed into the maxillary sinus, measuring 5×2.5×1.7 cm. We also present an evaluation of the diagnosis and treatment of this type of DC.

Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts and are associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth, especially of the mandibular third molar. In this study, the characteristics of a dentigerous cyst developed around a mandibular third molar on panoramic radiographs were investigated. The panoramic images of 257 consecutive dentigerous cyst cases associated with a mandibular third molar were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 45.9 ± 13.3 years. The size of the cyst did not significantly correlate to the age of the patient. The unilocular type (89.1%) and the crown side type (68.5%) were significant. The associated mandibular third molars had a high frequency of class III (64.6%) and position B (48.3%) in Pell and Gregory classification and of horizontal position (36.3%) in angulation. Dentigerous cysts were thought to originate and grow commonly around deeply impacted third molars. The associated third molar with dentigerous cyst tends to have a mesial inclination. Dentigerous cysts do not appear to develop gradually after the crown formation has finished, but arise at various periods randomly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinicians sometimes use decompression for secondary, low-risk cyst enucleation. The authors explored whether the decompression of dentigerous cysts associated with third molars is a reliable, long-term, definitive treatment option. METHODS The authors monitored 25 mandibular cysts associated with impacted third molars in adults after surgical decompression without the extraction of the related tooth for a mean (standard deviation) time of 37 (15) months (range, 12-71 months). The authors carefully evaluated the postoperative clinical situation and the extent of radiographic shrinkage. RESULTS A minimal epithelial slit remained patent in all patients. All lacked clinical problems, had no need for further intervention, and exhibited persistent impaction of the teeth. The cyst reduction rate calculated on panoramic radiographs ranged from 63.4% to 98.8% (mean [standard deviation] 87.5% [10.6%]) and was statistically significant (P < .05). In 13 patients, the reduction rate was greater than 90%. CONCLUSIONS Decompression triggered marked radiographic reductions of cysts when epithelial communication persisted. The situation stabilized after the first 6 through 8 months, and no further intervention was required. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS It is risky to enucleate cysts associated with impacted third molars and extract the molars. Clinicians can solve the problem in dental practice by using surgical decompression.

Abstract
Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a rare odontogenic cyst with ameloblastic epithelial lining containing clusters of ghost cells. COCs have been described in association with several odontogenic tumors, more commonly odontomas and rarely with dentigerous cyst (DC). In this article, we describe a case of COC associated with DC in a 15-year-old girl, who presented with a swelling on the right middle third of the face, producing facial asymmetry. Panoramic radiography showed a well-circumscribed, corticated, and unilocular radiolucency at the level of the right maxillary sinus, involving 2 unerupted premolars. The lesion was enucleated and histologically revealed a COC associated with DC, which presented mucous metaplasia. Immunohistochemical reactions were performed to better illustrate this rare synchronous occurrence of COC and DC, showing positivity for CK5, CK14, CK19, and p63 in both lesions. CK18 was negative in COC, and Bcl-2 was negative in DC. Periodic acid Schiff highlighted the mucous cells in the DC lining.

Abstract
Background Dentigerous cyst appears surrounding the crown of an included tooth. On the radiographic exam, a radiolucent rounded well-defined lesion can be observed. Material and Methods This study reports a clinical case of a 34-years old man with a pericoronal radiolucent lesion associated to an impacted lower third molar with the presence of radiopaque material inside. The radiological differential diagnosis was calcifying odontogenic tumor, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor and dentigerous cyst. The impacted third molar was removed and the lesion was sent for the histopathological exam. Results The histopathological diagnosis was dentigerous cyst with capsular calcifications. Specifically, parietal calcifications on its connective wall and a piece of cemento-osseous tissue inside. Conclusions Non-neoplastic lesions such as dentigerous cysts could develop radiopacities inside the radiolucent pericoronal area. Key words:Dentigerous cyst, calcifications, third molar, differential diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Reduced expression of syndecan-1 (CD138), increased proliferation index, and modifications in the expression of the molecular RANK/RANKL/OPG triad are related to an intensified potential of aggressiveness and invasion of diverse tumors and cysts. The aim was to compare the expression of Ki-67, CD138, and the molecular triad RANK, RANKL, and OPG in odontogenic keratocysts (OKC), unicystic ameloblastomas (UA), and dentigerous cysts (DC). METHODS Immunohistochemistry for Ki-67, CD138, RANK, RANKL, and OPG was performed in 58 odontogenic cystic lesions (22 OKC, 17 DC, and 19 UA). RESULTS A higher expression of Ki-67 was identified in OKC as compared to UA (p < 0.0001). UA exhibited a greater loss of CD138 expression versus OKCs (p > 0.0034). RANKL was expressed higher in the epithelium (p = 0.0002) and in the stroma (p = 0.0004) of UA. DC had a lower expression of these markers. CONCLUSION Higher RANKL expression together with the reduction on CD138 expression in UA could be linked to a greater invasive and destructive potential, while the increased proliferation rate observed in OKC could be related to its continuous intrabony growth. The expansion of DC does not seem to be related to such factors, justifying the different therapeutic approaches proposed for each of these entities.

Abstract
The dentigerous cyst (DC) is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst. It is usually asymptomatic and associated with the crown of an unerupted or impacted tooth. However, after a long duration, it is likely to cause significant bone resorption, cortical expansion, and tooth displacement. This report presents a large infected DC in the mandible of a 12-year-old female patient. The DC was located inferior to badly decayed primary molars and surrounded three impacted permanent teeth: canine, first premolar, which had a dilacerated root, and second premolar. The DC was treated successfully by marsupialization and extrusion of the impacted teeth. In conclusion, the combination of marsupialization with orthodontic extrusion is a conservative, efficient protocol that stimulates bone healing and promotes the eruption of cyst-associated teeth even if they are deeply impacted, crowded, or have a dilacerated root. Key words:Dentigerous cyst, marsupialization, impacted teeth, orthodontic extrusion, dilacerated root.

Abstract
Investigation of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma may help to improve understanding of the nature and behavior of odontogenic cysts and tumors, and in addition may eventually represent a definitive target for a pharmacological approach in the management of these lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate COX-2 expression and its correlation with the proliferation of odontogenic epithelium in these lesions. Dentigerous cysts (n=16) and ameloblastomas (n=17) were evaluated. Detection of Ki-67 and COX-2 protein expression was conducted by immunohistochemistry. Data were statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. No significant differences were found in the expression of Ki-67 and COX-2 between dentigerous cysts and ameloblastomas (P>0.05). A significant positive correlation (P=0.018) and highly significant positive correlation (P=0.004) were found between Ki-67 and COX-2 expression in the odontogenic epithelium of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma, respectively. COX-2 was expressed in the odontogenic epithelium of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma. It may contribute to local extension of these lesions by increasing the proliferation of their odontogenic epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dentigerous cyst (DC) occurs in approximately 20% of jaw cysts, being the second major common odontogenic cyst, after radicular cyst. This oral lesion has the ability to destroy maxillary bones and could be the origin of several odontogenic tumors. However, molecules implicated in its pathogenesis as well as those involved in its neoplastic transformation remain unknown. Here, we established a cell population derived from a DC as an in vitro model for the study of this oral lesion. METHODS Cell culture was performed from a DC from a 44-year-old male. Cells were cultured at 37°C in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Expression of epithelial markers was analyzed by Western blot and immunofluorescence. Ultrastructural characterization was carried out by transmission electron microscopy. Conditioned media were obtained and characterized by zymography and Western blot. RESULTS Cells showed spindle-shaped morphology, but they express epithelial markers, such as cytokeratins and the odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein. The ultrastructural analysis showed well-formed desmosomes present in adhering contiguous cells, confirming the epithelial lineage of this cell population. Cells also contain several vesicles adjacent to plasma membrane, suggesting an active secretion. Indeed, the analysis of the conditioned medium revealed the presence of several secreted proteins, among them the matrix metalloproteinase-2. CONCLUSIONS Our work provides a useful model to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of DC.

Abstract
Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of preoperatively administered submucosal and oral prednisolone on postoperative pain, facial swelling, and trismus following third molar surgery. Patients and Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial in which subjects were randomly distributed into three groups. Group A consisted of subjects who received 40 mg oral prednisolone; Group B consisted of subjects who received 40 mg submucosal injection of prednisolone while Group C consisted of subjects who did not receive prednisolone. Each group had 62 subjects. Measurements for facial width/facial swelling, pain, and mouth opening were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively. The postoperative evaluation points were postoperative days 1, 3, and 7. These measurements were compared with the preoperative values both within and among the groups. Results: Most of the subjects were in their third decade of life. A considerable increase in the mean postoperative values for pain, facial width and trismus was observed. Notably, subjects who did not receive prednisolone showed comparatively higher values for the measured parameters throughout the postoperative evaluation period. Subjects who received submucosal injection of prednisolone showed overall lower values compared to those who received oral prednisolone. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the administration of prednisolone has a significantly beneficial effect in ameliorating the postoperative sequelae of the third molar surgery. In addition, the effect of submucosally injected prednisolone is comparable to the orally administered prednisolone; indeed it shows superiority to the latter in a number of dimensions. Submucosal injection of prednisolone offers a simple, effective, easy, safe, and minimally invasive option to existing therapeutic methods of reducing these postoperative sequelae.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in oral health-related Quality of Life (QoL) following third molar surgery with either oral administration or submucosal injection of prednisolone. PATIENT AND METHODS Subjects were randomly distributed into three groups of 62 subjects each: Group A consisted of subjects who received 40 mg oral prednisolone; group B received 40 mg submucosal injection of prednisolone, while group C did not receive prednisolone. Preoperative and postoperative quality of life evaluations of all subjects were done using the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Postoperatively, quality of life evaluation was done on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7. Subjects were categorized as either affected (OHIP score ≤28) or not affected (OHIP score >28). Mean OHIP scores between preoperative and postoperative periods, as well as between the three groups, were compared. RESULTS A significant increase in the mean total and subscale scores was found in all the groups postoperatively. This was most marked on the first postoperative day, and it gradually improved throughout the immediate postoperative period. Subjects who received prednisolone experienced a statistically significant better quality of life than those who did not. Subjects who received submucosal injection of prednisolone showed statistically significant less deterioration in QoL than those who received oral prednisolone (P = 0.001). CONCLUSION Administration of prednisolone was significantly associated with less deterioration in quality of life and earlier recovery when compared with subjects who did not receive prednisolone. Submucosal injection of prednisolone 40 mg (which offers a simple, safe, painless, and cost-effective therapeutic option) is an effective therapeutic strategy for improving the quality of life after surgical removal of impacted lower third molars.

Abstract
Dentigerous cyst (DC), also known as follicular cyst, is an odontogenic cyst with fluid accumulation between the crown and enamel organ of an unerupted tooth, pushing the crown away from the alveolar bone. The patients with DC in the maxillary sinus should be evaluated thoroughly by extraoral and intraoral examinations, proper diagnostic imaging procedures, and pathologic examination to avoid misdiagnosis of maxillary sinusitis. The standard treatment for DC in the maxillary sinus is often removed by Caldwell-Luc approach. Furthermore, marsupialization or functional endoscopic sinus surgery may be performed because of the size, location of the cysts, or the age of the patients. Sometimes, DC recurred and it made contour deformity. The buccal fat pad (BFP) was mentioned for the first time by Heister in 1732 and better described by Bichat in 1802. Egyedi was the first to report use of the BFP in oral reconstruction for the closure of oroantral and oronasal communications, and Tideman et al showed there was no need to cover BFP by a skin graft when used for defects of oral cavity. So, the authors report our experience with the bilateral pedicled sling BFP flap for intraoral reconstruction after larger recurrent DC removal and describe advantages, operative procedure, and possible complications of the DC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prevalence of cysts and tumors related to impacted third molars has been considered important because the risk justifies prophylactic extraction. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of cysts or tumors associated with impacted mandibular third molars (IMTMs) according to patients' age and gender. METHODS Over the period from August 2006 to August 2011, 20,802 third molars from 17,535 patients were removed. Among these, IMTMs without cysts nor tumors were classified as non-pathology group, and IMTMs with cysts and tumors were classified into pathology group. The prevalence of IMTMs and associated cysts or tumors was analyzed in patient groups stratified by age and gender. The pathology group patients were also classified according to histopathological findings and the corresponding age groups. RESULTS Radiographic signs of disease were detected for 176 lesions (0.846 %) in 165 patients. Of these, 135 (76.4 %) lesions were diagnosed as dentigerous cysts, 31 (17.6 %) as keratocysticodontogenic tumors, and 10 (5.7 %) as ameloblastomas. The prevalence of cysts or tumors tended to increase after 50 years of age, such as 7.27 % in 6th decades, 18.60 % in 7th decades, and 11.53 % in 8th decades, with a male predominance in older patients. CONCLUSIONS IMTMs in old age patients more than 50 years old has high possibilities of developing cyst or tumors especially in male patients. However, these results should not be used as the only evidence for justifying prophylactic extraction, and further studies should investigate the survival rate of IMTMs without any pathologic in older populations.
