The present article emphasizes importance of regular radiographic evaluation in pediatric patients noticed with retained primary teeth, delayed eruption of permanent teeth and other suspicious conditions encountered during routine dental check-up. A huge dentigerous cyst was observed following a radiographic examination taken for some other purpose in a 5-year-old Indian male patient. The cyst was asymptomatic constituting permanent teeth buds. In this paper, presence of an asymptomatic huge dentigerous cyst is described which occurred in the maxillary arch which is rarely reported in the literature.
