RESUMEN
Dentigerous cysts are the most common type of odontogenic cysts and arise from an unerupted tooth. These cysts have stereotypical radiographic and clinical findings. They can be extremely invasive but rarely present as a life-threatening emergency. This case report describes the stabilization and treatment of a 6-year-old mixed breed dog with a dentigerous cyst with concurrent life-threatening hemorrhage. The dog presented with severe oral hemorrhage from the mandibular artery and required multiple blood transfusions. It was ultimately diagnosed with a dentigerous cyst. Complications from dental issues and potential life-threatening complications, such as this case, can be prevented by routine annual oral examination and full mouth dental radiographs if an unerupted tooth is suspected.

Bilateral dentigerous cysts (DC) associated with unerupted mandibular first molars in a non-syndromic pediatric individual are rare. Secondary infections may lead to complications, such as discomfort due to pain, disfigurement caused by enlargement of the cyst with cortical expansion of the jawbone, displacement of teeth and paraesthesia of the adjacent nerve. This case report describes the occurrence of bilateral DC in an eight-year-old patient. Marsupialization was the treatment of choice to preserve the permanent teeth and other adjacent tissues.

The earliest reported case of the occurrence of a dentigerous cyst is described; the cyst surrounded an unerupted permanent tooth bud in a 6-month-old infant. Most commonly these lesions present between the second and third decades of life. They rarely occur before 10 years of age and have not been documented prior to 1 year of age. In the case reported here, the treatment instituted was extraction of the adjacent deciduous tooth and enucleation of the cyst along with the permanent molar tooth bud. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for this lesion to occur across a wide range of ages and the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications and reduce morbidity.

Compound odontoma has been reported to be the most common of all odontogenic neoplasms and tumor- like lesions. It is a slow-growing, asymptomatic neoplasms found incidentally during a routine radiography examination. In general, the clinical indicators of odontoma may include eruption disturbance (non-eruption of permanent teeth, retention of deciduous teeth), expansion of the cortical bone, teeth malposition and pain. In this case, the presence of odontoma prevented the physiological eruption of permanent mandible incisor. We describe the surgical procedure to remove a compound odontoma of 21 small tooth-like structures localized in the mandible of a child boy associated with an unerupted permanent mandible incisor.

There are six distinct types of resorption of dental hard tissue that occur in association with unerupted and impacted permanent teeth. These pathologic entities differ markedly from one another in terms of their aetiology, their treatment and their prognosis. In several of them, the continued existence of the affected tooth may be in danger while in others, conservative treatment may halt the resorption process and provide for a successful outcome. The treatment approach is specific for each type and is entirely dependant on the diagnosis. This presentation will discuss prevalence, aetiology, presenting symptoms and clinical signs, radiographic features, histopathology, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in relation to each of the conditions.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficiency of decompression in treating odontogenic cystic lesions of the jaws in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All consecutive odontogenic cysts occurring in children and treated by decompression from 1994 to 2009 at 1 maxillofacial center were included in the present study. Clinical data included age, gender, jaw, histopathologic diagnosis, and decompression time. Radiologic data from panoramic radiographs before and after decompression included tooth involvement, locularity, location, involvement of adjacent vital anatomic structures, and cyst area. RESULTS: Thirty-two odontogenic cystic lesions from 26 children (14 boys [53.8%] and 12 girls [46.2%]) treated with decompression were included. The average age at the time of presentation was 11.6 ± 3.3 years (range, 7 to 18 yr). The mandible was involved in 13 cases (40.6%) and the maxilla in 19 (59.4%). All cysts were unilocular at presentation. Twenty-seven cysts (84.4%) showed tooth involvement. The diagnoses consisted of dentigerous cysts (20 [62.5%]), keratocysts (9 [28.1%]), and radicular cysts (3 [9.4%]). The mean decompression period was 7.45 ± 2.6 months (2 to 14 months). The mean standard lesion area index changed from 12.7 ± 0.9 mm(2) (3.6 to 44 mm(2)) before compression to 2.3 ± 4.3 mm(2) (0 to 22.3 mm(2)) after decompression. The mean percentage of reduction (POR) was 82 ± 16% (49 to 100%). The POR was ranked as good in 22 lesions (69%), moderate in 9 lesions (28%), and poor in 1 lesion (3%). Surgery was performed for 15 lesions (47%). CONCLUSION: Decompression results in good regeneration potential of the bone in the developing craniofacial skeleton of children. Children might benefit from a less invasive surgical protocol.

BACKGROUND: Pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption is a dental lesion located within the dentin. This defect is usually discovered incidentally on routine dental radiographs. Occasionally this process may be associated with oral pain in advanced lesions. CASE REPORT: This case report describes a 12-year-old boy whose chief complaint was a diffuse oral pain due to a severe pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption in a permanent second molar. The previous radiographs, taken at the age of nine years, showed no evidence of the lesion. After surgical exposure, a pulp-like tissue under the crown was removed and analyzed; subsequently the tooth was extracted due to extensive resorption. A follow-up of the unerupted third molar, still in formation process, allowed to see that it was favourably positioned for replacing the extracted molar.

Eruption disturbances of teeth are not unusual; many variations are encountered and eruption disturbances can negatively influence the development of the tooth and jaw system. Causes of eruption disturbances can be categorized into general and local factors. The clinical spectrum of eruption disturbances involves syndromic and non-syndromic problems for both kinds of factors, varying from delayed eruption to primary failure of eruption. The following types of eruption disturbances should be distinguished: impaction, primary retention, secondary retention and primary failure of eruption. Early detection of eruption disturbances and timely and appropriate treatment of the various eruption disturbances play an important role in preventing the negative effects of eruption disturbances on the development of the dentition and the craniofacial skeleton.

INTRODUCTION: Orthodontic-surgical treatment was performed in patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion due to exceeding mandibular growth. Patient also presented upper and lower dental protrusion, overjet of -3.0 mm, overbite of -1.0 mm, congenital absence of tooth #22, teeth #13 and supernumerary impaction, tooth #12 with conoid shape and partly erupted in supraversion, prolonged retention of tooth #53, tendency to vertical growth of the face and facial asymmetry. The discrepancy on the upper arch was -2.0 mm and -5.0 mm on the lower arch. METHODS: The presurgical orthodontic treatment was performed with extraction of the teeth #35 and #45. On the upper arch, teeth #53, #12 and supernumerary were extracted to accomplish the traction of the impacted canine. The spaces of the lower extractions were closed with mesialization of posterior segment. After aligning and leveling the teeth, extractions spaces closure and correct positioning of teeth on the bone bases, the correct intercuspation of the dental arch, with molars and canines in Angle's Class I, coincident midline, normal overjet and overbite and ideal torques, were evaluated through study models. The patient was submitted to orthognathic surgery and then the postsurgical orthodontic treatment was finished. RESULTS: The Class III malocclusion was treated establishing occlusal and facial normal standards.

Cases have been reported in the literature in which extraoral sinus tracts of dental origin have been diagnosed and successfully treated. Similarly, the presence of an intracoronal radiolucency in unerupted permanent teeth has been found in the dental literature. The association of one with the other, however, is a rare occurrence. The purpose of this case report was to describe the treatment of a 7-year-old child who presented with an extraoral draining sinus originating from a carious, developing tooth bud of the unerupted permanent mandibular left second molar. After a thorough clinical and radiographic examination, a conclusive diagnosis was determined and surgical treatment was performed. The patient responded well, and the cutaneous lesion healed uneventfully.

La literatura determina, que el diente incluido es aquel que permanece completamente rodeado de hueso. Por ello, la erupción fisiológica del molar es interrumpida por diferentes factores que pueden ser de origen físico, dentario, óseo y sistémico. La incidencia de segundos molares inferiores retenidos relacionados con la inclusión de los terceros molares adyacentes, se establece alrededor del 6%.Se presenta un caso clínico donde se exodoncian los segundos y terceros molares del tercer y cuarto cuadrante cerca de la basal mandibular (AU)
The literature determines that the impacted tooth is that which remains completely surrounded by bone. For this reason, the physiological eruption of the molar is interrupted by different factors that may be of a physical, dental, bone and systemic origin. The incidence of retained lower second molars related with the impaction of the adjacent third molars is established at around6%. A clinical case is presented where the second and third molars are extracted from the third and fourth quadrant near the mandibular base (AU)

There is a resurgence of interest in coronectomy, but its appropriate application in the management of third molar teeth has yet to be defined. Dentigerous cysts associated with unerupted teeth are most commonly associated with mandibular third molars. In this case series we evaluate outcome after coronectomy of teeth with associated dentigerous cysts in cases where the inferior dental nerve was thought to be at risk, or there was an increased risk of mandibular fracture. We retrospectively studied 21 consecutive patients treated by coronectomy for dentigerous cysts at the Oral Surgery Department at Guy's Hospital. The most commonly affected teeth were mandibular third molars (20/21). One patient had permanent injury to the inferior dental nerve, but no mandibular fracture or recurrence of cyst was reported. One patient required secondary retrieval of the retained root because of eruption. Coronectomy of unerupted teeth associated with dentigerous cysts is an effective treatment when there is high risk of injury to the inferior dental nerve injury or potential for mandibular fracture. Further work with larger numbers and longer follow-up is required to discover the long-term outcome of the electively retained root.

Delayed tooth eruption can affect the accuracy of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning and could delay overall treatment. A girl, aged 7 years 4 months, who had unilateral delayed eruption of several teeth was successfully treated. The evaluation of delayed tooth eruption should be considered by the orthodontist because the role of these teeth can affect the overall treatment of malocclusion. In patients with delayed tooth eruption, careful and accurate diagnosis and treatment planning will allow the orthodontist to start treatment at the proper stage and might reduce the overall orthodontic treatment time.
