Abstract

Dentigerous cysts in young adults may compromise the natural evolution of the dentition and can be treated surgically or non-surgically. We report the minimally-invasive treatment of dentigerous cysts in two young patients using a modified Hawley plate to avoid traumatic injury to anatomical structures, with up to four years' follow up.

Keywords: marsupialization; non-surgical treatment; odontogenic cyst; pediatric patient.
