Abstract

Background: This paper aims to describe a case report about dentigerous cysts related to trauma in the primary teeth.

Case report: An eight-year-old boy attended the Pediatric Dental Trauma Clinic. He had a delay in the eruption of the tooth 11 and when he was four years old suffered a trauma in the tooth 51. The radiograph showed a dentigerous cyst involving the tooth 11. The lesion was treated through enucleation and the permanent tooth erupted.

Conclusions: A correlation was observed between the dentigerous cyst, trauma in the deciduous incisor and the successor teeth. Early diagnoses as well as clinical and radiographic follow-ups of traumatized primary teeth are important to minimize possible sequelae in the successor teeth.
