WEBER, Patrícia Bernardes Gonçalves et al. Eruption cyst associated with tooth rotation on deciduous dentition: A case report. Stomatos [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.40, pp. 21-26. ISSN 1519-4442.

The eruption cyst is a benign soft tissue anomaly that may occur during eruption of deciduous or permanent teeth. It is usually asymptomatic and its treatment involves clinical follow-up of dental eruption. However, it may become infected or cause discomfort and pain. In such cases, surgical treatment is recommended. The present report aimed to describe a clinical case of eruption cyst located on the deciduous mandibular incisors' area of a four-month-old female infant since her birth. After surgical treatment a change was observed in the position (rotation) of the tooth associated with the cystic lesion. Rotation of the mandibular incisor persisted during the deciduous dentition development.
