Use of disposable needle hub for decompression of large dentigerous cyst: A case report

Developmental cysts are commonly seen in children, dentigerous cyst is one among them. Cysts associated with vital structures like erupting permanent teeth have to be treated more conservatively. Marsupialization or decompression is more routinely done procedures; the only hitch is maintaining the p...

description Developmental cysts are commonly seen in children, dentigerous cyst is one among them. Cysts associated with vital structures like erupting permanent teeth have to be treated more conservatively. Marsupialization or decompression is more routinely done procedures; the only hitch is maintaining the patency of the window. Various materials are being tried like customized acrylic stents, plastic tubings, disposable suction tips, etc. We want to present a case of decompression of maxillary dentigerous cyst with the use of readily available disposable syringe hub. Syringe hub is cut and trimmed to adapt to the edges of the window created for decompression and stabilized with sutures. It causes less tissue trauma and the larger outer rim provides retention for the stent. Disposable anesthetic syringe hubs can be additional material for decompression with better handling and usage.
