Eruption cysts are benign cysts that appear on the mucosa of a tooth shortly before its eruption. They may disappear by themselves but if they are hurt, bleed, or are infected, they may require surgical treatment to expose the tooth and drain the contents. Here we present a clinical case of a 12-year-old child with an eruption cyst in mandibular right second molar treated using diode laser. No hemorrhage, swelling, infection or postoperative pain was observed. Treatment of eruption cysts with this technique facilitates obtaining a cooperative behavior from pediatric patients and makes behavior management easier. |
