PEREIRA, João Vitor et al. Bone window technique in the enucleation of mandibular cysts using a piezoelectric device: Case report. Rev Port Estomatol Med Dent Cir Maxilofac [online]. 2024, vol.65, n.1, pp.52-56.  Epub 31-Mar-2024. ISSN 1646-2890.  https://doi.org/10.24873/j.rpemd.2024.03.1209.

A dentigerous cyst can be classified as a developmental or inflammatory cyst. It originates during the process of separation from the follicle that becomes trapped around the crown of an impacted tooth. The purpose of this article is to report a clinical case of enucleation of a dentigerous cyst in the left mandibular body associated with the impacted lower first molar (tooth 36), with involvement of the inferior alveolar nerve, through the bone window surgical technique using piezosurgery. A 19-year-old male patient with no comorbidities presented with a well-defined hypodense lesion of approximately 15.51mm X 27.69mm X 14.79mm in diameter, as identified by cone-beam tomography. The bone window technique performed offers the advantage of repositioning the bone segment displaced during surgery, promoting the repair process, and providing direct access to the area containing the cystic lesion and the impacted tooth.
