Dentigerous cyst associated with a formocresol pulpotomized deciduous molar.
This report presents a case of dentigerous cyst associated with a formocresol pulpotomized deciduous molar detected during routine examination. Dentigerous cyst is an epithelial-lined developmental cavity that encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth at the cementoenamel junction. The present case describes a 9-year-old girl sent to the dental clinic by her dentist, who had accidentally discovered in the panoramic radiograph a single, unilocular, well-defined, radiolucent area enclosing the second left unerupted mandibular premolar. The second left primary molar had been pulpotomized 2 years before and buccal swelling without redness occurred near the tooth, evidencing bone expansion. Surgical treatment was carried out, the tooth was extracted, and a cystectomy was performed under local anesthesia in the dental office. The histological study confirmed the suspected diagnosis of dentigerous cyst. The relation between pulpotomy and dentigerous cysts is discussed.
