Özet

The aim of this case report was to present management of dentigerous cysts in a child with mixed dentition. A 9-year-old girl was referred to clinic with a dentigerous cyst associated with maxillary right canine. The patient had a painless expansion of the alveolus around the canine. Under local anesthesia, the cyst was marsupialized and the obturator was applied postoperatively. Four months after marsupialization, the radiolucent area had disappeared and repaired by new bone. Orthodontic traction was decided for eruption of canine then the patient was referred to the clinic of orthodontics. Marsupialization is one of the best way to give a eruption chance to impacted tooth associated with dentigerous cyst especially in childhood.
