The Kang Appliance: A Novel Tooth‐Borne Approach to Decompression of Dentigerous Cysts in Pediatric Patients

Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that can cause significant disruption to normal tooth eruption and jaw development in pediatric patients. Traditional marsupialization techniques rely on tissue-borne appliances, which often lead to discomfort and frequent dislodgement in young patients. This case report presents a novel tooth-borne appliance, the Kang Appliance, as an effective alternative for marsupialization.

Abstract

Dentigerous cysts are common odontogenic cysts that can cause significant disruption to normal tooth eruption and jaw development in pediatric patients. Traditional marsupialization techniques rely on tissue-borne appliances, which often lead to discomfort and frequent dislodgement in young patients. This case report presents a novel tooth-borne appliance, the Kang Appliance, as an effective alternative for marsupialization.
