The cyst is tamponaded to allow for the cyst contents to escape the bone. Over time, the cyst decreases in size and bone regenerates in the cavity space. Marsupialization could also be performed, which involves suturing the edges of the gingiva surrounding the cyst to remain open. The cyst then drains its contents and heal without being ...
A lump may be felt, which may feel hard if there is still bone covering the cyst, or fluctuant if the cyst has eroded through the bone surrounding it. [5] A cyst may become acutely infected, and discharge into the oral cavity via a sinus. Adjacent teeth may be loosened, tilted or even moved bodily. [6]

Marsupialisation results in slow shrinkage of the cyst allowing later enucleation. However, resolution can take up to 20 months and patients are required to clean the open cavity and irrigate it. Peripheral ostectomy after curettage and/or enucleation. Extensive cysts may require a bone graft after bone resection and reconstruction of the area.
[2] [3] They are commonly found along the lateral periodontium or within the bone between the roots of vital teeth, around mandibular canines and premolars. [3] Standish and Shafer reported the first well-documented case of LPCs in 1958, followed by Holder and Kunkel in the same year although it was called a periodontal cyst.
Most calcifying odontogenic cysts appear asymptomatic. [2] They are normally presented as a painless, slow-growing mass on the mandible and/or the maxilla, mostly in the front of the mouth. [5] Symptoms include swelling in the mouth, both inside the bone, in the tooth bearing areas, and outside the bone, in the gingiva.

On the other hand, only 2.7 percent of dentigerous cysts involved the maxillary premolar. Mourshed stated that the incidence of dentigerous cyst has been reported as 1.44 in every 100 unerupted teeth, [12] so dentigerous cysts involving the premolars are rare. Dentigerous cysts most commonly occur in the 2nd and 3rd decades of life.
