Abstract
Dentigerous cyst is a common odontogenic cyst associated with an impacted tooth.It develops due to fluid buildup between the enamel epithelium and the crown of the tooth, leading to the dilation of the tooth follicle. This article outlines the clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and surgical intervention employed to address the cystic lesion associated with an impacted tooth in a 9 year old female patient.
