Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic lesions that require accurate diagnosis for effective management. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on histopathology, but radiographic evaluation can provide valuable insights.

Objectives: To present a case series of dentigerous cysts diagnosed solely based on radiographic features using conventional radiography and CBCT, highlighting the diagnostic efficacy of imaging modalities.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 2 cases of dentigerous cysts diagnosed radiographically. Inclusion criteria: lesions diagnosed using conventional radiography and CBCT, without histopathological confirmation. Radiographic features evaluated: cyst location, size, shape, border definition, and relationship to adjacent structures.

Results: 2 cases of dentigerous cysts were identified, with characteristic radiographic features: like well-defined unilocular radiolucency, corticated border, association with impacted tooth.

Conclusion: Radiographic evaluation using conventional radiography and CBCT can accurately diagnose dentigerous cysts, obviating the need for histopathological confirmation in selected cases. This case series highlights the diagnostic potential of imaging modalities in oral and maxillofacial pathology.
