Eruption Guidance of Multiple Permanent Teeth Associated with Expansive Large Cyst in Maxillary Anterior Region: Two Case Reports / 대한소아치과학회지

ABSTRACT

In children, large odontogenic cysts affect adjacent anatomical structures as well as displace developing permanent teeth. Odontogenic cysts are treated via enucleation or marsupialization. This case reports a 5-year-old boy and a 10-year-old boy who have not only displaced 3 or more permanent teeth but also elevated the maxillary sinus floor due to the large size of the cyst in the maxillary anterior region. In both cases, marsupialization was selected to minimize complications. After marsupialization, a customized acrylic obturator, window opening, and orthodontic traction for eruption guidance were gradually attempted, and it showed a good prognosis, so we report these cases.
