MORALES NAVARRO, Denia; SANCHEZ ACUNA, Guillermo  e  RODRIGUEZ LAY, Liliana. Atypical clinical presentation of a dentigerous cyst. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2009, vol.46, n.4, pp. 129-137. ISSN 1561-297X.

Dentigerous cysts are a casual finding in most of cases, in general discovered in investigation of a not eruption of permanent tooth. These occupy the second place in appearance frequency in maxillaries after radicular cyst. When maxillary sinus is invaded by these cysts, symptoms usually appear late in the process. These could include facial pain, paresthesia as consequence of pressure on nerve, headache, trismus, taste disorders and nasal congestion. Due the infrequent of the maxillary location and the short age of patient we reviewed the more recent of bibliography on this subject and to present the clinical case of other female patient aged 17 diagnosed with and treated by dentigerous cyst in such location, emphasizing on the significance of a appropriate diagnosis and establishment of a therapy in accord in each case
