Marsupialization of juvenile paradental cyst: A case report

Abstract

Juvenile paradental cysts (JPC) are rare cystic lesions that usually develop on buccal, distal, or mesial side of first, and rarely second permanent mandibular molars. They occur during tooth eruption, in children aged 6 to 12 years, and belong to the group of inflammatory paradental cysts. Clinical symptomatology is scarce and often manifested as appearance of painless swelling on the buccal side of the offending tooth. Different therapeutic procedures could be used: enucleation, enucleation with tooth extraction or marsupialization. This study presents the marsupialization procedure of bilateral JPC attached to the first permanent lower molars in seven year old girl.
