30. • Impacted teeth are often encountered in routine
radiographic examination
• In treatment planning, it is imperative to accurately locate
them and determine their relationships to adjacent teeth
and anatomical structures in the area.
• Usually, the required information can be obtained from
periapical, occlusal, or panoramic radiographs.
• Radiographs are important in assessing the location and
nature of these anomalies.

31. The major shortcoming of the conventional radiography
• Overlapping of structures on the film.
• Difficult to distinguish a particular detail, especially when
structures differ slightly in density.
Computed tomography has proved to be superior to other
radiographic methods in visualizing bone tissue.
• 3D CT images clearly show the intraosseous location,
inclination, and morphology of impacted teeth, as well as
the distance from adjacent structures.

35. Guidelines for the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst
Daley and Winsock
1) A pericoronal radioluscency >4 mm in greatest
width,
2) Histologically, fibrous tissue lined by
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
3) A surgically demonstrable cystic space between
the enamel and the overlying tissue.

37. conclusion
Unerupted supernumerary tooth
• direction of the crown, the location, the influence on
adjacent teeth, resorption of adjacent roots and the
formation of dentigerous cysts should be carefully
evaluated.

Malformation of adjacent teeth such as
of adjacent teeth
When the supernumerary tooth is evident, the direction of the crown, the location, the influence on adjacent teeth, the resorption of adjacent roots and the formation of dentigerous cysts should be carefully evaluated [18]. Conventional radiographical examination involving panoramic, occlusal and periapical views have been used to locate their exact position for proper treatment plan and surgical removal. Computed tomography (CT) and Cone-beam CT have emerged as diagnostic techniques to assess supernumerary teeth.
To prevent Endanger vitality of adjacent teeth endo of 23 was done..Routine haematological and biochemical tests were normal. Maxillary left incisors [21],[22] were endodontically treated and were obturated with gutta-percha. Then, under general anaesthesia, surgical extraction of the impacted supernumerary teeth and enucleation of the cyst was done, followed by retrograde filling of 21 and 22 with mineral trioxide aggregate. The post operative course was uneventful. The histological examination of the specimen was suggestive of a dentigerous cyst.
Multiplanar reformation image of the tooth, the sagittal image showed palatal crown labial root and the root and the root pointed to the floor of the nasal cavity
Surgical removal of the cyst has been considered as the preferred choice of treatment. enucleation and tooth removal might result in damage to the nerve and blood vessels
supplying the adjacent teeth
Management of a supernumerary tooth depends on the type and position of the tooth and its effect on the adjacent teeth. Removal of the supernumerary has been recommended where there is evidence of the associated pathology, eruption disturbances, displacement of the incisors or where the spontaneous eruption of the supernumerary tooth has occurred
Figure 1. Panoramic radiograph shows a large unilo-cular radiolucency in the anterior maxilla and the mesiodens in the left aspect of the lesion.
The supernumerary tooth had a cone-shaped crown and a shortened root (Figure 1).
The lesion was totally enucleated together with the supernumerary tooth under local anesthesia, and specimens were sent to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
Histological evaluation of the lesion has been recommended, owing to its potential to develop into an ameloblastoma or mucoepidermoid carcinoma

CASE REPORT
CT in axial and coronal planes showed fluid filled unilocular lesion along with crown of mesiodens in the maxillary alveolar process (Fig 2). The Surgical resection of the lesion along with removal of mesiodens and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of dentigerous cyst associated with mesiodens. The patient is under follow up since six months and no complications are observed
Histological sections of both specimens revealed cyst walls composed of loosely arranged fibrovascu-lar connective tissue, lined by 2-4 layers of flattened non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium (Figure 2). The epithelium and the connective tissue interface was flat. Numerous cholesterol clefts and few chronic inflammatory cells infiltration were noted. No evidence of malignant changes was noted.
