ABSTRACT
Dentigerous cysts, if left untreated, can grow significantly and weaken the mandible, posing risks of pathological or iatrogenic fracture. Treatment options may include decompression, marsupialization, and enucleation, which are available, with the choice being multifactorial and tailored to each case. This article describes the management of two complex dentigerous cysts at risk of fracture, one about an 84-year-old woman and the second about a 41-year-old man. The cysts and associated teeth were surgically removed, and simultaneously custom-made titanium osteosynthesis plates were placed to prevent per- and postoperative fracture risks. This approach appears to be indicated in cases where marsupialization or decompression is impossible and when there is a high risk of iatrogenic fracture.
