| Summary: | A case of a large dentigerous cyst associated with
canine tooth in the maxillary antrum is presented. This case is of
interest because of its extensiveness and the presence of an
ectopic tooth in the roof of the maxillary sinus. Theoretical aspects
of canine impaction and cyst formation are reviewed. The
management of a jaw cyst, in particular, the still popular Caldwell-
Luc procedure is discussed. |
