RESUMO
Dentigerous cyst is the second most common odontogenic cyst after radicular cyst. This report describes a case of a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted maxillary third molar. Patient presented with foul smelling discharge through nose and oral cavity. Cone beam computed tomography revealed maxillary third molar displaced to lateral wall of the nose and a unilocular radiolucency obliterating the entire maxillary sinus. A provisional diagnosis of infected dentigerous cyst was made. The cyst was enucleated along with removal of third molar. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst. The patient recovery was uneventful.
