Abstract
Dentigerous cysts are the most common developmental cysts in the jaw region. They are usually associated with the crown of unerupted teeth, odontomas or supernumerary teeth. Dentigerous cysts generally have a chronic, asymptomatic growth phase and are discovered frequently on routine radiographic examination. Occurrence of a dentigerous cyst with an erupted anterior tooth is exceptionally rare and seldom reported in literature. We report an unusual presentation of a dentigerous cyst associated with an erupted mandibular canine. A detailed clinical and radiographic examination augmented its accurate histopathological diagnosis.
