Description
Hamid Bashiri and Maryam Mohebiniya report surgical handling of an outsized jaw cyst tied to an extra tooth in a 2026 case report. Dentigerous cysts grow around the crowns of teeth that never erupt, ranking second among cysts of tooth origin. Their link to supernumerary teeth, extra teeth beyond the normal set, is uncommon, and this one reached unusual size in the patient's right upper jaw.
Cone-beam scanning mapped the cyst and the buried extra tooth before surgery. The team removed the lesion and its associated tooth, and the report presents the outcome as a successful resolution. Such cases remind clinicians that a silent, slow swelling can hide a large cyst around a tooth that was never supposed to exist. Three-dimensional imaging earns its place in planning the removal.
