An 8-year-old male child reported to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery with the chief complaint of swelling in the upper left side of the face for 2 months. Based on the clinical and radiological findings of cystic cavity along with impacted tooth, lesion was diagnosed as dentigerous cyst and surgical enucleation was planned under general anaesthesia. Dentigerous cysts mostly occur in the mandible and are prevalent between the second to fourth decades of life. The incidence of this cyst in children is less. We present here a case report of a paediatric patient with a rare occurrence of a large cyst in the maxillary anterior region, and the treatment outcome by surgical enucleation and preservation of the permanent tooth bud are discussed. The line of treatment for dentigerous cyst is enucleation and extraction of involved tooth. We recommend the alternative treatment option, which involves enucleation of cyst, and consider the conservation of the affected tooth bud in the view of making its eruption viable in future.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_51_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]],"date-time":"2022-06-23T11:18:01Z","timestamp":1655983081000},"page":"186-188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Alternate Management of an Anterior Maxillary Dentigerous Cyst in a Paediatric Patient"],"prefix":"10.67481","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Lida","family":"Philip","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"D'Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elvita","family":"Martis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Selva","family":"Malathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":null,"reference":[{"key":"R2-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jormas.2016.12.001","article-title":"Bi-maxillary dentigerous cyst in a non-syndromic child \u2013 Review of literature with a case presentation","volume":"118","author":"Dhupar","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R3-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.bmb.a071273","article-title":"The pathogenesis of dental cysts","volume":"31","author":"Harris","year":"1975","journal-title":"Br Med Bull"},{"key":"R4-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(01)00583-3","article-title":"Cystic lesions of the jaws in children","volume":"62","author":"Bodner","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"R6-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pdj.2015.10.003","article-title":"Retrospective analysis of 1286 oral and maxillofacial biopsied lesions of Iraqi children over a 30 years period","volume":"26","author":"Abdullah","year":"2016","journal-title":"Pediatr Dent J"},{"key":"R8-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.17796\/jcpd.28.2.m21q8vx78084374v","article-title":"Bilateral dentigerous cyst associated with polymorphism in chromosome 1qh+","volume":"28","author":"Batra","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Clin Pediatr Dent"},{"key":"R10-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-4388.73795","article-title":"Marsupialization: A conservative approach for treating dentigerous cyst in children in the mixed dentition","volume":"28","author":"Kirtaniya","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Indian Soc Pedod Prev Dent"},{"key":"R11-15-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"515","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajodo.2003.04.001","article-title":"Clinical conditions for eruption of maxillary canines and mandibular premolars associated with dentigerous cysts","volume":"124","author":"Hyomoto","year":"2003","journal-title":"Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop"}],"container-title":["African Journal of Paediatric Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.AJPS_51_21","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T00:49:21Z","timestamp":1782953361000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.AJPS_51_21"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_51_21","relation":{},"ISSN":["0189-6725"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0189-6725","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,7]]}}}
