Abstract |
Introduction |
Calcifying odontogenic cysts (COC) represent 0.3–0.8% of all odontogenic cysts. We describe the finding and the treatment of a COC in a 67-year-old female.
Observation |
An asymptomatic well-limited radioluscent mandibular lesion was fortuitously discovered on the panoramic X-ray in the periapical region of teeth No. 33 and 34. Treatment consisted in enucleation and curettage. Histologic examination was in favour of a COC. At 6 years follow-up, X-ray control showed new bone formation and the patient was free of symptoms. Pulp vitality was maintained in all teeth in the operated area.
Discussion |
Total enucleation is the preferred treatment of COC. Absence of recurrence is attested by X-ray controls and pulp vitality tests.
