Background: Dentigerous cysts are commonly seen in association with third molars and maxillary
canines. Only 5–6% of dentigerous cysts are associated with supernumerary teeth. We report
a rare case of dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted anterior maxillary supernumerary tooth
(mesiodens).
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old male reported to our Department of Oral Medicine,
School of Dentistry at Hamedan University of Medical Sciences, with chief complaint of a painless
swelling in the anterior upper jaw (in the region of incisors) for a duration of 3 month. At the
time of his presentation, his medical history was unremarkable, with no systemic problems and no
report of pain.
Conclusion: Although the association of dentigerous cyst with an impacted supernumerary
tooth (mesiodens) is rare, prevention of harmful complications as developmental cyst, early diagnosis
and treatment is necessary. The standard treatment is Enucleation.
Keywords: Dentigerous cysts; Mesiodens; Supernumerary teeth.
