Cisto dentígero em criança de um ano: relato de caso

Abstract

The advancement of Dentistry has constantly contributed to the diagnosis of facial pathologies, in a hospital environment it is necessary for the dental surgeon to be able to identify and interpret signs and symptoms that characterize maxillofacial pathologies. Among these, cysts and tumors are found frequently and when. The earlier the diagnosis and intervention, the greater the chance of successful treatment. It is necessary for dental professionals to be up to date on scientific advances in therapies used to treat facial injuries, with adjuvant treatment making a major contributor to controlling recurrences. At the Maria Aparecida Pedrossian University Hospital (HUMAP/UFMS), the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology team provided multidisciplinary care to a baby diagnosed early with an inflammatory dentigerous cyst. Her case stands out due to the patient's age and the difficulty in providing treatments that provided the desired result without being so aggressive that it could generate aesthetic and functional changes in someone who was still developing physically. Therefore, updates on these types of cases are important to help us intervene and outline an effective and most conservative treatment plan that reality allows. The objective of this study will be to report the case of this patient, correlating the aspects of this type of cyst and the team's decision-making regarding the case, to avoid recurrences using cryotherapy as a complementary therapy to the surgical procedure.
